NORFOLK, Va. - GW swimming and diving rolled to a sweep of Old Dominion in a two-day meet at J.C. Scrap Chandler Pool.
The Buff and Blue men finished off a 187-120 victory on Saturday, while the women triumphed by a score of 186-127.
Marek Osina led the way on the men's side by winning four individual events, and on Friday evening, the 200-yard freestyle relay team of Karol Mlynarczyk, Dylan Koo, Durde Matic and Tyler Kawakami set a pool record with their winning time of 1:23.12.
The women showcased their depth with eight different swimmers claiming individual events, and they also touched first in all four relays. Rookie Moriah Freitas was a double winner taking both butterfly races.
WOMEN'S HIGHLIGHTS
- Freitas earned a win in the 200 fly in 2:08.89 by edging teammate Molly Smyers by five-hundredths of a second on Friday before taking the 100 fly in 57.38 seconds on Saturday.
- Becca Brown and Marlee Rickert were both part of all four relay wins. The Buff and Blue took the 400 medley (3:50.87), 200 free (1:36.81), 200 medley (1:46.23) and 400 free (3:33.20) relays.
- Rickert won the 200 back in 2:05.39, while Brown took the top spot in the 50 free in 24.10 seconds.
- Rookie Julia Knox's winning time of 4:28.72 in the 400 IM cracked the program's all-time top list, checking in at No. 7.
- GW demonstrated its distance strength. Andrea Moussier won the 1,000 free in 10:41.21 by a second over teammate Taylor Bernosky, and Erin McCarthy won the 500 free in 5:07.94 with Carly Perri second and Bernosky third.
- Perri (200 free, 1:54.43) and Andrea Ho (100 back, :59.14) also recorded individual wins.
