This past weekend we took on my Alma mater, Clarion University at Towers Pool. The men continued their winning ways with a 108-83 victory, while posting up some fast times and establishing some pool records. Ed LeBlanc and Roman Becicka lead the way for the men's team. Eddie won the 1000 free, 100 Free (pool record; 45.65) and was part of the winning 200 free relay. Roman Becicka won the 400 IM (pool record; 4:06.42) and the 100 fly. Jim O'Hara also posted three wins for the Dukes, winning the 200 free and both relays. Senior Chris Kobela also had a good day, registering a win in the 500 free.
On the women's side we finally had the meet I was waiting for. Walking away with a 110-90 victory, but more importantly, each of the swimmers stepped up and raced and we finally put together a very complete meet. Freshmen Miriam McGeath lead the way, winning the 400 IM in pool record time of 4:33.34. Another freshmen, Meghann McGoldrick took the win in the 50 free with a time of 24.54, while fellow freshmen Caitie Zajko swam a fast 1:07.17 in the 100 breast. Sophomore Kristi Magee posted a victory in the 200 free with a time of 1:56.85 while fellow sophomore, Amanda McClelland was victories in the 100 free with a time of 54.82.
With the season almost half over, both teams are starting to gain momentum and swim with confidence. I believe we have now set the tone for the rest of the season with our best swimming still ahead of us. We head to The Bronx this coming weekend for a showdown with Fordham on the mens side and Fordham and Rhode Island on the women's side.
