Last weekend was a busy one for your Randolph-Macon swimmers. Friday was an away dual meet against St. Mary's of Maryland, and Saturday was a home meet against Washington and Lee. The team came away with two losses on the weekend, but it was a huge success for two reasons: the team learned some valuable lessons about what it means to compete on Friday, then showed some serious heart in putting those lessons to practice on Saturday.
In Saturday's meet, our swimmers competed in every race and ended up taking 8 out of 14 against W&L, including both relays. This marked the second straight year R-MC has taken both relays in this meet. Our 400 free relay team of Lizzy Buckley, Rebecca Stevenson, Cat Ware, and Sarah Almond also broke a pool record en route to their win.
Next up for the team is our own Yellow Jacket Invitational on December 4th and 5th.
Most of the races from Saturday are now posted on YouTube. Check out our channel on YouTube to see them.
