“I think that we kind of did anticipate not being at the top of every heat which is okay, but … this weekend will be a good measure of people’s best times in their best events”
“Keeping our foot on the gas is something I think this team will be good at.”
“[We have been] paying even more attention to detail and focusing on putting everything together to get as close to a technically perfect race as possible,” senior Cari Stankaitis said. “This, in addition to our competitive drive, will help us to reach our potential at the Ivy’s.”
The loss against Brown caps off the team’s dual-meet schedule with a 4-6 overall record and 2-5 Ivy record.
Looking to go .500 on the year, the women take on Brown this weekend.
The women’s swimming and diving team will send half its squad to the Ithaca Bomber Invitational hosted by Ithaca College and half to the Zippy Invitational in Akron, OH this weekend. The Red (1-3) is hoping for some great swims and fast times after two weeks of rest. It is the Red’s first invitational meet of the season; the Red’s previous four meets have all been single-day meets against Ivy opponents. It will span three days, from Friday to Sunday, so the Red will have to work on conserving its energy. “Three-day meets are long and taxing,” said senior Ellie Belilos.
