Wellesley College Swimming & Diving Defeats Mount Holyoke

Wellesley was led by Carolyn Jackson (Leesburg, VA) who picked up two individual wins and was a part of a winning relay team.  She took first place in the 50-breast in a time of 32.81 and then posted a winning time of 1:11.74 in the 100-breast.  In the 200-Medly Relay, Jackson teamed up with Katie Foley (Orono, ME), Virginia Hung (Plainsboro, NJ) and Dana Dutton (Anacortes, WA) to touch the wall first, in 1:59.72.

Wellesley swept the diving events, with Katherine Goffin (Falmouth, ME) winning the 1-meter with a score of 170.70 and the 3-meter with a score of 170.69.  Hung also had a great day for the Blue, winning the 100-fly in 1:03.14 and taking second in the 100-free in 56.72, just .15 seconds off the winning time.  She also posted the fastest time in an exhibition swim in the 200-IM (2:23.83).

Other individual winners for Wellesley included Melanie Kaplan (La Jolla, CA) in the 500-free (5:42.86), Foley in the 50-back (31.17), Savanna Johnson (Bloomington, IL) in the 50-free (26.02) and Dutton in the 1650-free (19.59).

Both squads are slated to cap off their regular seasons next Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Mount Holyoke (4-3) will travel to Smith College, while Wellesley (5-4) will host Connecticut College and Bates College.  Wellesley will celebrate Senior Day and will also be wearing pink swim cap in a breast cancer fundraiser.
