1st Home Meet

This past Saturday we had our first home meet against SUNY IT! The pressure was on for us to show this team and the rest of the NEAC conference what we are all about.

The women's team demolished SUNY IT's women's team by 38 points! Many of the women swam personal best times and earned 1st place. Below are some highlights....

Tiffany (SR) and Kelsey (SR) place 1st and 2nd respectively in the 100 free with Tiffany within .5 of her PB and Kelsey getting a PB by 1 second. Kelsey, a distance swimmer, swam the 100 breaststroke to earn some extra points for the team and ended up winning the race!

Idolyn (SO) was nominated and selected for NEAC Athlete of the Week for her performance. She earned first place in all 3 of her events: 50 FR, 100 FLY and 200 Free Relay. Earning 17 points for the Express.

Broken Record Alert - The men's team started off the meet with a 2 second lead in the 200 Medley Relay swam by Mike (JR), Jeff (JR), Drew (SO) and Dan (FR). \

Jeff (JR) earned 2nd place at the meet and on the All Wells Top Ten Times for his 200 IM swim, broke the record in the 100 BR and earning first place.

Dan (FR) shaved off 3 seconds in the 100 Fly and 2 seconds in his 50 FR to get his closer to his PB.

We also had a special guest, Court (SR) to help the men's team. He is the men's captain but he also plays soccer. After his soccer practice he came to the meet and swam the 100 FR and was the 3rd leg in the 200 FR relay. The very next day he had a soccer game against Penn St. Berks where the Express won 4-0!

I am very PROUD of the accomplishments of the swim team and it's only meet #2! Next meet is against SUNY Brockport on Saturday (7th) starting at 2pm (meet start changed).


GO EXPRESS!!!
