HIRAM, Ohio - The Wilmington College women's swimming team won all but four events in a 141.5-105.5 dual meet victory at Hiram College on Saturday afternoon.
Four Fightin' Quakers won two individual events. In sprint freestyle events, Audrey Bibb claimed victory in both the 50-meter freestyle (31.43 seconds) and the 100-meter freestyle (1:08.53). Sierra Szuhay also won two freestyle events with times of 2:32.67 in the 200-meter freestyle and 5:22.55 in the 400-meter freestyle.
Sydney Overmyer won both the 100-meter backstroke (1:17.84) and 200-meter backstroke (2:52.80) while Alayna Fierman placed first in both the 100-meter breaststroke (1:28.70) and the 200-meter breaststroke (3:12.88).
In relays, Wilmington's team of Szuhay, Fierman, Anna Endsley and Bibb won the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 2:21.77 to win the event by over 17 seconds. In the 200-meter freestyle relay, the Quaker team of Overmyer, Endsley, Bibb and Szuhay had the quickest mark of 2:05.35.
"We had swimmers from both teams swim seasonal best times today, but little errors proved costly for all," Head Coach Trip Breen said. "The things we are focusing on in training are starting to pay dividends, but improved habits take time. The swimmers are training hard, fatigue definitely played a factor in some of the mistakes we made today."
Wilmington will head to Manchester University for its final dual meet of the 2022 calendar year next Saturday.
