Saturday saw the George Washington women's swimming & diving team visit Christiansburg, Virginia to meet Virginia Tech in the Hokies' natatorium. Last season the ACC school sent three swimmers to the NCAA women's Championships, and it appeared this afternoon that a similar season is in store there.
Undeterred, the 200-yard medley team of junior Andrea Ho, first-year Stine Omdahl Petersen, junior Meghan Burton and first-year Becca Brown got the day started with a third place finish in the 200-yard medley relay in a time of 1:45.25. The Norweigen Petersen also earned fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke.
The Buff & Blue enjoyed success in several events, highlighted by senior Jackie Torrez's impressive 200 yard butterfly win with a time of 2:03:88 in the road pool.
Senior Marissa Martin earned second place honors in the 1000-free by finishing in 10:32.40, while classmate Gemma Atherley sped to third in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:54.13.
Sophomore Rebecca Smolcic claimed a third place finish in a time of 24.23 in the 50-free, shortly before classmate Ann Juneau's second place worthy 200-yard breaststroke performance in 2:22.64, just .52 seconds off the lead.
Meghan Burton, a junior from Midlothian, Virginia, took third in the 100-yard butterfly in 57.10.
Virginia Tech claimed the win, 208-87, while GW is now afforded a break with its next competition coming November 9th at Howard at 1pm.
