January 26th was our final meet in season before championship. During the meet we recognized our sole senior Gwenn Lillie. Gwenn was a captain for the past 3 years and her known nickname was "MaMa Gwenn" which I think says it all. She is graduating from Wells with a Biology major and Math minor and plans to go to grad school in Physical Therapy. We wish her all the best!
It was a great last meet for Gwenn because the women's team won against Cazenovia College which makes this season the best season (most wins) Wells has seen from the women's swim team since 1981-1982 season. This is a great accomplishment and I know the women worked very hard to earn this title.

Hilary Feudale (FR) continuing her dominate performances in the 100 BA (1:07.15) earned 1st place.
