A shorthanded R-MC swimming team stepped up yesterday to win some close races and beat Catholic, 140 to 122. Among the many highlights, Tracilyn Babington set a new school record in the 100 breaststroke! Her time of 1:07.50 took down Katie Duff's former record of 1:08.29, set back in 2004.
With the final dual meet now behind us, our sights are firmly set on ODACs (well, they already were), which begin just 12 days from now. Can't wait to see what our swimmers can do when fully rested.

Babington Honored
Based on her performances against Sweet Briar last Saturday, Tracilyn Babington has been named the ODAC Swimmer of the Week. As noted below, Tracilyn won three individual events against Sweet Briar, and smashed the 100m breaststroke record that had been standing long before she was even born. Congrats Tracilyn!

Records Fall at Sweet Briar
A strong day for the team at Sweet Briar on Saturday. Many solid swims, including many that convert to season best times (it was a short course meters meet). Acutally, some swims that convert to lifetime bests as well! In addition, pool records were set by Elizabeth Plowman and Tracilyn Babington. Elizabether set a new 1500m record at 18:58.88, breaking the previous mark by 24 seconds. Tracilyn got her record in the 100m breast, hitting in 1:16.89 and breaking a record that was set in 1985. Great stuff!
Next up: Catholic U. next Saturday at 1 pm.
