LANCASTER, Pa.—Swarthmore College Men's and Women's Swimming closed out the regular season at Franklin & Marshall College in the McGinness Invitational on Saturday. The Garnet swimmers posted several personal and season bests in the meet, a meet which featured the rare mixed men's and women's relay teams.
In the women's events, Jillian Haywood scored a personal best in the 100 free. Meagan Currie posted lifetime bests in the 500-yard freestyle and the 200 backstroke. Katie Strachan recorded three personal bests in the 100 breaststroke, the 100 free and in a split of the 50 breaststroke. Tiffany Yu had personal records all the way around, setting new bests in the 50 free and back as well as the 100 free and back.
Diane Lee and Maeve Juday recorded a pair of season bests in sprints. Seniors Emma Eppley and Zora Kosoff ended on a high note. Kosoff had season bests in the 100 and 200 back, and Eppley had season bests in the 50 and 100 free. Eppley posted a quick 50 free split of 24.94.
