Women's Swimming Dominates Tri-Meet on Senior Day

LANCASTER, Pa. The Franklin & Marshall women's swimming team combined to win 13 of the 14 events on Saturday in a dominating sweep of Elizabethtown (W, 198-56) and Susquehanna (W, 193-65). Prior to the meet, the team also celebrated Senior Day as it recognized Demi Konstantakos from the Class of 2022.

Rachel Baker, Skye Howes, Julie McFadden, and Sophie Moyer were all double individual winners for the Diplomats. Those four also made up the 200 yard medley relay winning team while Helen Lahmann-Metcalfe teamed up with Baker, Moyer, and McFadden to take home gold in the 200 yard freestyle relay.

Moyer won the 100 yard breaststroke (1:10.06) and 200 yard breaststroke (2:32.58). Maya Blaisure finished in second place right behind Moyer in the 100 with a time of 1:12.01. Additionally, Catherine Crampton (2:35.38) and Blaisure (2:41.34) completed the top three sweep in the 200 yard.

McFadden took care of business in the 50 yard freestyle (25.38) and 200 yard backstroke (2:15.34). Helen Lahmann-Metcalfe (25.58) and Ruhbani Sidhu (26:05) placed right behind McFadden in the 50 free. Baker, another first-year, won the 100 yard backstroke (1:03.74) and the 100 yard freestyle (56.30). Skye Howes won the 200 yard butterfly (2:19.63) by just one-hundredth of a second while also winning the 100 yard butterfly (1:01.90). Amelia Bothwell was close behind in the 100 fly with a time of 1:02.00.

First-year Georgia May performed a personal-best time of 10:51.58 in the 1000 yard freestyle. That time was the third-quickest in the Centennial Conference this season. Maggie Sjostedt took the silver in that same event (11:36.28). The 400 yard individual medley featured a podium sweep with Crampton placing first (4:43.81), May receiving second honors (4:51.32), and Bothwell finishing third (4:56.09). Junior Sarah Gartner won the 500 yard freestyle with a time of 5:26.79.

The Diplomats will return to their home pool next Saturday, January 22 when they take on Bryn Mawr at 1 p.m.
