MIAMI, Fla. - GW women's swimming & diving wrapped the season-opening TYR Fall Classic on Saturday with Gemma Atherley and Stine Omdahl Petersen leading the way.
Atherley landed a third-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke (2:03.49), while Omdahl Petersen placed third in the 200 breast (2:21.51).
The Colonials finished fifth out of eight teams in a competitive field over two days at Biscayne Bay Aquatic Center.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- It was Atherley's second third-place finish of the meet after also placing there in the 200-yard freestyle. On Saturday, she also teamed with Meghan Burton, Grace Olivardia and Isabela Patino on a fifth-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:33.01).
- A first-year from Norway, Omdahl Petersen finished the 200 breast in 2:21.51, a time that ranks seventh on GW's all-time top 10. The newcomer also placed 13th in the 200-yard individual medley on Saturday in 2:09.80. She was part of GW's seventh-place showing in the 200-yard medley relay (1:45.93), as well.
