Today we made our way down to Morgantown to take on two tough squads in WVU and Virginia Tech. We knew that both program outgunned us but we wanted to make a good showing in preparation for A-10's in a few weeks. The men's team did not disappoint as Eddie LeBlanc took individual wins against Virgina Tech and WVU in the 200 Free (1:39.34) and 100 Free (45.49). Roman Becicka paced the field against WVU, winning the 1000 (9:46.30) and 400 IM (4:07.88). Along with Ed and Roman, Jim O'Hara posted some good swims in the 200 free and 100 fly as well. Although not as crisp as I would have liked, the team showed a lot of heart despite everything that lead up to this weekend. I am certain if they show this kind of desire at A-10's we will be a team to be reckoned with.
On the women's side we had some good swims by freshmen Miriam McGeath in the 200 fly (2:06.65) and 400 IM (4:33.68), junior Briana Mangis in the 200 Back (2:09.99)as well as freshmen Meghann McGoldrick in the 50 free (24.64). Although we were outswum, both teams put forth an effort I was very proud of. I am now ordering up two weeks of rest in preparation for a lights out conference meet!!
I also want to add a thanks to WVU and Virginia Tech for the support they showed our men's team. The WVU parent's made red and blue ribbons, passed them out to our parent's and wore them themselves to honor our team. Thanks Vic and Ned, you are both class acts.
See you around the pool,
Dave
