Women’s Swimming Splits At Mansfield University Meet

MANSFIELD, Pa. – The Wells College women's swimming team posted both a victory and a loss against the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and Mansfield University Saturday afternoon in a triangular swim meet featuring both schools. In head-to-head meets, the Express improve to 7-3 overall on the season and have equaled their best season in program history with today's action.

At 7-3 overall on the year, the Express have tied the 1981-82 women's swimming program with the best record overall in program history. Wells has never won more than seven swim meets in a season in their program's history.

However, freshman Hilary Feudale (Coal Township, Pa.) secured the first overall victory for the Express with a win in the Women's 50 Yard Freestyle event, posting a time of 26.87 to rank her fifth all-time in program history with that mark.

Feudale struck again in the Women's 100 Yard Backstroke, placing first with a time of 1:07.04 to rank her second all-time in program history with that time. The all-time record holder in that event remains Jennifer Ingold, who posted a time of 1:06.42 on Nov. 19, 1991.

Freshman Nina Daniels (Pittsford, N.Y.) collected two second place finishes on the afternoon for the Express, turning in a time of 12:32.19 in the Women's 1,000 Yard Freestyle and a time of 6:06.42 in the Women's 500 Yard Freestyle. Her time in the 1,000 Yard Freestyle is a personal best and ranks her eighth in program history.
