Girls Beat NMH, Raymond Breaks Diving Record

The Westminster girls rang in the new decade with much fanfare as they hosted at Hibbard Pool. The meet started fast with a great Martlet win in the 200 medley relay, swum by Lucy Benoit '23, co-captain Angelesia Ma '20, Katherine Ashe '21 and Ellie Thorson '21. Ashe was up soon after in the 200 freestyle on short rest, placing second with Sydney Schuster '21 in third. Annie Brewer '21 and Ma placed first and second in the 200 IM, respectively, and Thorson and Margaret Breen '23 took the top two spots in the 50 freestyle. Co-captain Cece Raymond '20 took to the air in the diving event, nailing her most difficult dives — including 7.5s on her front double pike — and broke her own school record with a score of 228.65. Ola Szopa '20 also earned her best-ever score to place second, and Riley Vincent '23 took third. Benoit swam a best time in the 100 fly to win, finishing just two-tenths of a second off the school record, while Ashe placed third. Thorson and Breen took first and third in the 100 freestyle, respectively, and Schuster took third in the 500 free. Ma, Janessa Yan '22, Simonne Ponce '21 and India Lalor '21 placed second in the 200 freestyle relay, and Benoit won the 100 backstroke with Campbell Swift '21 in third. Ma and Yan placed second and third in the 100 breaststroke, respectively, and the team of Ashe, Breen, Thorson and Benoit won the 400 freestyle relay. It was an impressive showing from the girls after being in the water for only a few days since before the holidays. Ponce and Michelle Wu '21 earned shouts for their first forays into the 500 freestyle, and Rachel Ha '21 swam her first 100 breaststroke ever. The girls will race again next weekend when they travel to Kent.
