Swimmers honored by NESCAC
On Feb. 21, nine members of the Middlebury women's swimming and diving team were named to the NESCAC All-Conference Team based on their performance at last week's conference championship meet. The Panthers took second at the meet behind Williams, which took home the trophy for the sixth straight year. The top three finishers in each event earned All-Conference honors.
Headlining the list of Panthers on the team was Marika Ross '08, who received recognition in six events. Ross won the 50y, 100y and 200y butterfly races and swam on the 200y, 400y and 800y freestyle relay teams. Classmate Sara Cowie '08 also had an impressive meet, earning her place on the team in four events. Cowie won the 1650y and the 1000y freestyle races in record-setting times and finished second in the 500y freestyle. Cowie was also a member of the 800y freestyle relay team that finished second. Alanna Hanson '08 was the Panthers' only other individual winner at the meet, winning the one-meter diving title to make the All-Conference Team.
Libby Brush '09 and Catherine Suppan '09 also earned spots on the All-Conference Team with strong showings in individual events. Brush took second in the 200y butterfly, five seconds behind Ross in the event. Suppan finished third in the 200y breaststroke, setting a school-record in the event, and took fourth in the 100y breaststroke in another school-record time. Suppan also swam on the 400y and 800y freestyle relay teams.
Pam Chatikavanij '08, Cornelieke Lammers '09, Liz Rice '07 and Barbara Van der Veer '07 were all named to the All-Conference Team for their efforts on three different freestyle relays.
NESCAC seasons come to close
This past weekend saw the close of three NESCAC seasons, as division titles were handed out in men's and women's basketball and men's swimming and diving. Although no Panther teams factored into these championships, the weekend still saw tight and exciting action to close the books on three league tournaments.
