The Princeton Women's swimming and diving team took their third championship in a row, and 18th overall tonight, as they dominated a meet from beginning to end.
Katie had a great set of dives today, with a great range of diversity and difficulty that earned her 2nd place in the 3-meter event. Despite a push in the last two dives, it wasn't enough to get past Columbia's Shannon Hosey , who had dives of a lifetime tonight. Despite whatever adversities she might have had this year, Katie showed she is still one of the top competitors in this league, finishing like a champion.
With a new pool record and meet record, Monika Friedman outdid herself finishing in 1:58.69. The first place finish makes her the fourth Tiger to win two individual championships this weekend.
It was a fast final heat, with a 2:14.69 winning it, the Tigers pulled ahead of the field, finishing 2nd and 4th. Lisa Hamming lead Princeton, finishing with a time of 2.15.38, followed by Courtney's time of 2:16.63.
What a race. There's nothing like the waves created in a 100 free. Especially when they run orange and black. Senior Brett Shiflett was on again, finishing in first with a time of 49.82. It was the only individual event in which she didn't qualify for NCAA's. Junior Justina DiFazio had another explosive swim, picking it up in the last 30 meters, but was ultimately out-touched by .04 seconds.
Julie Kochman and Meredith Monroe gave it their all and it showed. They came second and third in the 200 back, finishing 2:00.68 and 1:59.09 respectively. Penn's Sara Coenen had a huge push in the last 40 meters, coming from behind to take first with a time of 1:58.07.
There aren't too many words to describe the achievements of Alicia Aemisegger, but sometimes just putting a time will do.
It was an amazing morning for the Princeton Tigers, as they qualified another to NCAA's. Junior Monika Friedman qualified with a 1:58.91, making her the fifth Princeton swimmer to qualify to nationals. Additionally, Alicia swam the 200 time trial, in an effort to qualify the 800 free relay to NC's, and her brilliant race should be just enough to get the relay to Ohio.
