WEST CHESTER, Pa. – Competing in a tri-meet, the Lehigh women's swimming and diving team had to battle West Chester on Friday. The Mountain Hawks easily defeated Bloomsburg, 183,39, but earned a hard-fought win over the Golden Rams, 137-103.
Throughout the evening, the Brown and White got a huge lift from freshman Danielle Prekop. Prekop won two individual events on Friday in the 500 and 1000 freestyle. In the 500 free, Prekop earned a time of 5:11.10, while coming in at 10:30.56 in the 1000 free.
Payton Miles won the 50 and 100 free with times of 23.34 and 51.49, while Sophia Poeta earned her first win of the season in in the 200 back (2:07.37). Also picking up her first win of the season, Liz Olszewski picked up the victory in the 200 breast with a time of 2:25.37.
The 200 freestyle relay team of Miles, Ann Foley, Olivia Giampietro and Evie Gieseman earned first with a time of 1:36.36.
A key reason why the Mountain Hawks edged West Chester was because of their depth. In the races Lehigh didn't win, they earned second in those races. Freshman Sarah Hardy finished second in the 200 IM (2:08.77) and 200 butterfly (2:03.56). Megan Judge earned a second-place finish in the 100 free with a time of 52.70.
Tori Connolly fought hard and finished second in the 500 free with a time of 5:12.12, while Nicole Shek also earned second in the 200 backstroke with a time of 2:07.43. In the 200 free, the junior Foley earned second at 1:53.50.
Junior diver Megan Fennell earned second and third in the 1 and 3-meter dives. In the 1-meter dive, Fennell scored 250.20, while scoring 212.10 in the 3-meter dive.
Up next, the women's team will travel and compete at Rider tomorrow night.
