The 2016-2017 NESCAC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championship this past weekend in Bowdoin College’s Greason Pool finished the Bantam’s season with a disheartening 11^th place finish, only three points behind Colby College in 10^th place. However, this meet was accompanied by lifetime best swims for many of the Bantam finalists over the weekend.
Three Bantam first years qualified for finals with Julia Albino ‘20 finishing 15^th in the 50-yard butterfly, Audrey Ettinger ‘20 finishing 22^nd in the 200 IM and setting a new school record twice in one day, and Maudi Guay ‘20 taking 24^th place in the 50-yard backstroke after breaking her own personal record in the preliminaries with a time of 27.35. Brenna Weber ’17, Bantam’s senior co-captain, ended the meet with her lifetime best of 2:12.40 in the 200-yard butterfly and finished 22^nd overall in the finals. Another Bantam rookie ended their season on a high note with Kristen Morissette ’20 swimming a lifetime best in two of her events, a 31.37 in the 50-yard backstroke and a 27.97 in the 50-yard freestyle on Friday.
Overall, while the finish was not as hoped for Trinity Women’s Swimming & Diving, many swimmers had a phenomenal meet and ended the season by swimming their personal bests for their careers.
