First-place finishes highlight Saints women's swimming against Nazareth

Posted

St. Lawrence won eight events, including a win by Taylor McClung in the 1,000-yard freestyle, but it wasn't enough for the St. Lawrence University women's swimming and diving team to overcome a deep Nazareth squad, as the Saints fell to the Golden Flyers, 162-132.

McClung led from start to finish in the distance event with a win in 11 minutes, 13.53 seconds. Other first-place finishers for the Saints included Meg Musser, who won both the 100 and 200 backstroke with times of 1:04.99 and 2:21.83, respectively. Gabriella Marchetti was second in the 1,000 free and took top honors in the 200 butterfly.

The Saints finished 1-2-3 in the 50 free, with Christina Felchner winning the race in 25.98, followed by Becca Raab and Heather Foley. Falchner and Raab were also the top two finishers in the 100 freestyle, and Foley won the 100 butterfly.

Raab teamed with Madeline Holodnik, Marchetti and Felchner to win the 200 free relay. Holodnik was second in the 200 free, 500 free and 200 individual medley.

Musser, Darla Long, Foley and Raab captured second in the opening race of the meet with a time of 2:00.77 in the 200 medley relay.

The Saints meet with Bard, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been cancelled due to a lack of available swimmers at Bard due to multiple illnesses. St. Lawrence will take a break for the Thanksgiving holiday, then compete at the Liberty League Championships on Dec. 2-3 at RIT.
