Meet Results

NEW ROCHELLE—After recording top times in all 11 events of the day, Sarah Lawrence College women's swimming defeated Hudson Valley Women's Athletic Conference (HVWAC) rival College of New Rochelle, 151.5-47.5, at CNR Wellness Center on Wednesday.

“This was a great tune up meet for us,” reflected Head Coach Eric Mitchell. “The meet was the final step in training for our mid-season invitational this weekend. We had a good opportunity to see exactly where everyone is at in training before we head to Drew.”

After Sarah Lawrence (3-1, 1-0 HVWAC) won the 200 yard medley relay, sophomore Gryphon Jay Pulitano (Mountain Lakes, N.J., Mountain Lakes) won the 1,000 yard freestyle by a margin of more than two and a half minutes. He also picked up a win in the 100 yard butterfly.

In the 500 freestyle, sophomore Alexis Bates (Morristown, N.J., Morristown) set a new program record with a swim of 6:01.59, taking her second distance record of the season and beating the four-year-old mark of 6:03.09. Bates also posted a 50-free winning time of 29.15.

Sophomore Ariana Peschke (Topanga, Calif., La Reina) took first place in the 200 yard freestyle and 100 yard backstroke, while rookie Sam Amberchan (Menlo Park, Calif., Menlo-Atherton) came out on top in the 100 yard freestyle.

As a foursome, Pulitano, Bates, Peschke and Amberchan won the day's final event with a victory in the 200 yard freestyle relay.

Sophomore Natasha Leonard (Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i, Kealakehe) also won multiple events, picking up the top spot in the 200 yard individual medley, splitting the victory in the 100 yard breaststroke, and swimming the butterfly leg of the 200 medley relay.

Sarah Lawrence now heads to the Drew University Ranger Invitational, a three day meet from Friday through Sunday. Preliminary sessions begin at 9 a.m. each day, with final sessions set for 4 p.m.
