I'm very pleased with the swims our women put up at the Yellow Jacket Invitational this weekend. This was the first of two mid-season invitationals for the team this year, and was our unrested one. That said, the team looked sharp - as they have all season, really. Many season bests were set, as were some lifetime bests.
Lizzy Buckley and Sarah Almond shared the high point award (I offered to cut it in half for them, but they declined), each collecting three individual wins over the three session meet. Lizzy in the 50, 100, and 200 free, and Sarah in the 200 IM, 100 and 200 back. Tracilyn Babington added two wins in both breaststrokes, and was just .03 off the pool record in the 100 breast. Rebecca Stevenson also won an individual event in the 500 on Friday.
Next up is the Swarthmore Invitational the weekend following Thanksgiving. That meet will follow the same format as our own invite, with three sessions following the championship meet order of events. The team will get some more rest for that meet, and will look to put up some even more impressive results! I think we'll see a lot of close individual races and team races up in PA in two weeks.
