Martlets Hang Tough But Fall Short
The Westminster girls put up a solid performance at home Jan. 23 but came up short against the defending Division 2 New England Champs, 85-99. The meet began with a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay by Campbell Swift '21, Angelesia Ma '20, Dorka Nagy '19 and co-captain Alex Wolf '19. Co-captain Alex Lin '19 raced to second place in the 200 freestyle, with Katherine Ashe '21 finishing third with a best time. Nagy came in second in the 200 IM, and Wolf and Ellie Thorson '21 placed 1-2, respectively, in the 50 freestyle. The dynamic duo of Cecilia Raymond '20 and Jane Ogden '19 took first and second in the diving event, and at the break the Martlets had the score tied. The Wildcats pulled away in the second half, but the Westminster girls put up some gritty swims to keep it as close as possible. Ashe swam a lifetime best in the 100 fly, good for third place, and Lin took second in the 100 free, with Wolf in fourth in nearly a personal best. Sydney Schuster '21 took third in the 500 free with her best time ever, and the 200 free relay team of Ma, Wolf, Thorson and Lin took second. Swift was second in the 100 back, and Nagy won the 100 breaststroke with a fast swim. Ashe, Thorson, Nagy and Lin teamed up in the 400 freestyle relay to finish the meet, swimming their fastest time this year en route to a second place finish. Also swimming best times were Schuster (200 free), Ashe (100 free), Clea Guerrand-Hermes '19 (50 free, 100 free), India Lalor '21 (50 free, 100 free), Isabel O'Connell '20 (100 free), Rachel Ha '21 (50 free), Simonne Ponce '21 (100 free), Sophia Coumantaros '21 (100 fly, 100 back) and Ma (50 free). Overall, the girls swam great and tapped into a collective energy that helped them rise above the accumulated fatigue of several weeks of tough training. The Martlets travel to Canterbury Saturday.
