2010-11 Season Review

2010-11 Swarthmore Women’s Swimming  (3rd Place Centennial Conference Championships)

 

Just one season removed from a fifth-place finish at the Centennial Conference championships, the Swarthmore women’s swimming team rebounded in a big way thanks in part to an impressive group of freshmen, taking third place at the year-end championship meet.

During the dual meet season, the Garnet raced to a 6-3 overall record (5-2 CC), improving dramatically on last season’s 4-6 (2-5) mark.  The dual meet season was highlighted by wins over rivals Dickinson and Ursinus, and  was propelled by the Class of ’14, as Rebecca Teng, Erin Lowe, and Maggie Regan regularly contributed top point totals to the Swarthmore scores. Seniors Chelsea Brett, Sarah Bedolfe, Stephanie Su, and Allison Bishop also turned in successful final seasons.
At the Centennial Conference championship meet, Regan broke out in a big way, taking gold in the 400 IM (4:39.55) and silver in the 200 breaststroke (2:26.76).  She also placed fifth in the 500 freestyle (5:19.01).  Teng set the school record in the 200 IM (2:11.96), earning a silver medal.  Lowe touched second in the 200 butterfly (2:09.69), and Hannah Gotwals ’13 nabbed bronze (2:12.82).
