HAMILTON – MG King and Lucy Art each won multiple events to lead the Colgate women’s swim and dive team to its first win over Holy Cross since 2018 with a 176-122 victory on Wednesday afternoon inside Lineberry Natatorium. 

COACH PRETRE’S COMMENTS

“The goal of today, after a very, very hard training camp, was grit, being smart, and composed. Both teams demonstrated that today. We just have to keep putting the pedal to the metal. If we do that we’re going to set ourselves up for a great end of the year of going fast.”

HOW IT HAPPENED
 Colgate won 12 events in the team triumph. King secured three victories, bringing home first-place finishes in the 1000-yard free (10:45.31), 500-yard free (5:15.47), and 100-yard back (59.07) to lead the Raiders. Art captured first-place tallies in the 50-yard free (24.79) and 100-yard free (53.69) on the day. 

Several victories on the day included the 200-yard medley relay team, led by Brooke Garretson, Jordan Hurt, Natalie Hofer, and Art. The Colgate quartet clocked in at 1:47.99, just under three seconds quicker than Holy Cross’ second-place group. 

Garretson took home first place in the 200-yard free with a time of 1:56.34, less than a second faster than Holy Cross’ second-place finisher. 

Emma Senglaub and Addisyn Donfris finished first and second in the 200-yard fly, clocking in at 2:13.09 and 2:13.60, respectively. Regan Hau placed first in the 200-yard breast with a time of 2:28.89, nearly three seconds faster than the closest opponent. 

Jordan Hurt secured a victory in the 100-yard fly with a time of 58.50, just over a second faster than Holy Cross’ second-place swimmer. Maggie DeLillo also picked up a victory in the 200-yard individual medley, turning in a time of 2:14.53.
