Women’s 200 Free Relay

I think Kenyon wins it too, they return everyone from last years relay and they could add ertel if they wanted too. No national record but a win. Calvin knocks at the door in second

I think Kenyon will win it without Ertel. However, if you look at last year, they went faster in prelims than in finals; this, I think, would be the only way they would lose it. UWSP, Emory, Denison stand not a chance.

That record won’t be touched for years. It’s a 23.24 average split. Not a single team can do that with their 2-3-4’s, let alone their lead-off.

I think that relay definitely set the tone for the meet two years ago, when Kenyon had a girl go 25.00 on that relay in finals. Last year, while they didn’t dominate the relays overall, they won both sprint relays handily. I think the more interesting thing will be to observe the times from Denison, Emory, and Calvin, as it’s a strong relay for all of them. If any of them are within half a second, that will be huge.

Yeah that record is pretty quick. I saw that record get broken and I thought it was a stellar swim.

Kenyon, Calvin, Emory, Denison…no real surprise here and its only prelims, however, Carltons 23.29 lead off leg is a big statement that she’ll be a factor in the 50 and fastest swim of the morning. Weima not far behind.

This was a quick start to the meet and I can’t wait to see what happens tonight. All I know is this will be a great race, and I am pulling for the Knights to pull it off.

How about that anchor leg by McCarthy… she took them from 14th place to 8th place in the last 50 yards. And on top of that, they only made top 8 by .01 over Middlebury.

Kenyon wins!!!! by more than one second over Calvin.
They put Ertel in the relay. Nearly broke the record.

Wow Carlton was smoking 22.72 split! So I guess Ertel is not going to be swimming the 800 free relay then.

That would be my guess…they should win it without her.
