Women's Swim/Dive Tops Dartmouth, Readies For Annual HYP Showdown
January 24, 2010 | Women's Swimming and Diving
The Princeton women's swimming and diving team picked up 2010 where it left off in 2009, and now it will prepare for its biggest regular season meet of the season. The Tigers claimed a 169-126 win at Dartmouth Sunday and will now get ready to host the annual HYP competition.
Saturday's tri-meet between Harvard, Yale and Princeton (5 p.m., DeNunzio Pool) will feature every Ivy League champion of the last decade (Princeton 8, Harvard 2), as well as the final meet at DeNunzio by longtime Yale coach Frank Keefe. GoPrincetonTigers.com will have extended coverage this week of both the men's and women's meets, including video interviews with both Megan Waters and Jon Hartmann, as well as a full meet preview.
Princeton will hope for the same overall team success as it received Sunday in Hanover, where it won 12 of 14 swimming events and placed no worse than second in the other four. The team score is closer than the individual results might indicate, as several of Princeton's winning swims were considered exhibitions after the team victory had been assured.
In its first swim of the new year, Princeton set a pool record. The foursome of Meredith Monroe, Alicia Aemisegger, Arlene Douglas and Courtney Kilkuts set the 200 medley relay record with a winning time of 1:47.02; that time topped the previous record by .8 of a second.
Freshman Sarah Furgatch won the 400 IM in 4:28.18, while sophomore Jillian Altenburger held off Monroe to win the 200 free in 1:52.62.
Aemisegger barely missed a pool record when she won the 100 back in 57.57, nearly three full seconds faster teammate Ming Ong. She did set the only individual pool record during the session when she won the 200 IM in a time of 2:01.23.
Sophomore Hannah Cody won the 100 breast in 1:10.21 for the most exciting win of the day. Cody topped Dartmouth's Caitlin Keenan by only .04 of a second.
Kilkuts cleared the field by more than three seconds to win the 200 fly. The senior co-captain and three-time reigning Ivy League champion in the 200 IM won the 200 fly in 2:06.42. Junior Emily Trautner won the 50 free in 24.86, while freshman Carter Stephens topped Monroe to win the 100 free in 53.20.
After her second-place finish in the 100 back, Ong topped junior teammate Megan Waters to win the 200 back in 2:05.63. Senior Karina Silvester placed second in the 200 breast with a time of 2:28.14, but sophomore Aislinn Smalling got Princeton right back on the winning track by taking the 500 free in 4:59.97.
Junior Nicole McAndrew took second in the 100 fly with a time of 59.55, and she joined classmates Trautner, Ong and Waters to win the 300 free relay in a time of 2:26.02.
Princeton took second and fourth in both the one- and three-meter diving competitions, and the Tigers did it with four different divers. Junior Carolyn Littlefield finished as the runner-up in the three-meter competition with 267.15 points, while freshman Bryna Tsai took fourth with 247.80 points.
Later in the session, Michelle Morikawa took second in the one-meter competition with 243.52 points, while Christina Kirkwood placed fourth with 235.79 points.
