The women's squad routed Trinity 177-120, closing its dual-meet season with a record of 6-3 following last Friday's 129-114 win against Clark University. The men's team also competed at both meets last weekend, coming away with a 133-104 win at Clark but falling to Trinity 154.5-139.5 to put them at 4-5 at the conclusion of dual-meet competition this season.
Hollis Viray '10 was one of the four women's swimmers to post three wins at Trinity as the Judges took first place in 14 of 16 team events on the day. Viray won the 400-yard individual medley in a time of 4 minutes, 50.40 seconds and also took two breaststroke events, setting a facility record in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:29.73.
"I was proud of my races," she said. "I was hoping to go under 2:30 for my 200 breaststrokes and I was able to do that. I think this put me in a good place looking forward."
The other three-event winners for the women's team were Siobhan Lyons '10, Angela Chui '12 and Julia Derk '12, who along with Viray were also members of a winning relay team.
Lyons took the 1,000-yard freestyle event in 11:35.82 while also winning both the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly events with times of 1:03.48 and 2:17.77, respectively. Chui captured the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke events and also won the 200-yard freestyle event in 1:58.96. Derk won three different freestyle events, winning the 50-yard and 100-yard sprints in times of 26.12 seconds and 56.30 seconds, respectively, and the 500-yard event in 5:27.72.
"We had a lot of great performances," coach James Zotz said. "The women were pumped up; they knew it was our last meet. I felt everybody swam well."
