LANCASTER, Pa. – The Swarthmore College women's swimming team grabbed 16 spots on the All-Centennial Team announced on Friday. Quinn Weygandt was named the conference's Swimmer of the Year for the third straight season while the Garnet also garnered Coaching Staff of the Year honors.
 
Swarthmore claimed its fifth straight Centennial Conference title and seventh overall, passing Ursinus College for the second most in conference history. The Garnet amassed 19 medals with 12 gold, six silver, and one bronze.
 
Weygandt three-peated as Swimmer of the Year following another record-setting regular season and Centennial championship meet. She was the only competitor at last weekend's CC meet (women's or men's) to win three individual gold medals (200 IM, 400 IM, 200 fly), breaking one conference record, two championship meet records, and recording three NCAA B cut times. Weygandt also contributed to winning 800 freestyle and 400 freestyle relays for the Garnet, with the 400 freestyle relay setting new conference and championship records.
 
Weygandt made history by becoming the first swimmer in conference history to sweep the individual medley events in four straight championships, and also won the 200 butterfly for the third year in a row. Weygandt was honored with the Most Outstanding Performer of the meet award for the third straight season, becoming just the third swimmer in CC history to do so. Weygandt's times in the 400 IM (3^rd in Division III) and 200 IM (5^th in Division III) rank among the top in the nation.
 
The Swarthmore coaching staff was selected by their peers as Coaching Staff of the Year for the fourth year in a row. Head coach Karin Colby and assistants Sam Davy, Coulter Morrill, Molly Spano, Charlie Kennedy, Mike Pace and Leisha Shaffer guided the Garnet to their fifth straight CC title and a 9-0 dual record this season, including a 6-0 mark against conference foes. They have won 48 straight head-to-head matchups dating back to the 2019-20 season. Swarthmore is currently ranked 15^th in the College Swimming Coaches Association of America Top 25 Poll.
