Hartwick Relays!

This past Saturday was our first meet of the season!!! The team did very well and we are excited for what the season will hold for us in the upcoming meets.

Highlights
* The Men's team broke the 400 Medley record by 9 seconds.
* Gwenn (FR) got a personal best in the 500 free by 7 seconds
* Kelsey (SR) and Tiffany (SR) both took off 2 seconds in their 50 Free
* Dan (FR) was part of the 400 Medley relay plus he is currently on the top ten list in the 50 free (4th) and 100 Fly (2nd)

This is the first year we are giving out "Swimmer of the Meet" and Biggest Time Drop" after the meet. This meet we had 3 winners.


Jackie (JR) had an unfortunate accident the previous weekend and she had to get 32 stitches in her forearm. With some extra wrapping she still swam at this meet. She even swam the 100 Backstroke for the first time! For her efforts in helping the team she was awarded Swimmer of the meet.


Dan (FR) also earned the Swimmer of the Meet award because in his first collegiate swim meet he earned 3 spots in the Men's All Wells Top Ten List including breaking a record.



It was difficult to decide the biggest time drop because we had a few but Carolyn (assistant coach) and I decided it should go to Tiffany (SR) because she took off 2 seconds in the 50 free!




Congratulations to the Wells College Swim Team for an excellent performance.
