early practices pay off as teams set new

RECORDS The College of William & Mary’s Men and Women’s Swimming teams according to Director of Swimming and Diving Matt Crispino do more in the pool by 6:00 a.m. than many college students do in their entire day. The Swimming Program’s propensity for hard work paid off as the Women’s team finished second at the CAA Swimming Championships while the men took home fourth place at the conference event. “[The season] was really good,” Crispino said. “It was successful; we improved over last year’s record, we broke several school and freshman records this year, so it’s been a pretty successful year.” Junior Katie Radloff set the conference and school record in the 100 freestyle event with a time of 48.48 sec-onds. Radloff won six gold-medals and one silver-medal at the meet and qualified for the NCAA Championship events for the third-straight year. Radloff finished in 46th place in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:47.22 and 24th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 48.73. Radloff joined with senior Marina Falcone, junior Lindsay Guers and freshman Molly Emery to set the conference and school record in the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:21.78. Freshman Holly Hewitt set the school record in the 200 back, junior Erin Welshofer set the school record in the 200 fly, and junior Lindsay Gu-ers finished second all-time at the College with a time of

50.77 in the 100 freestyle event. “I couldn’t ask for a better experience, better team-mates, or better coaches,” Falcone said. “I think we’ve had an incredible season. There were times when everybody needed to step up and go beyond what they thought they could do, and they did.” On the Men’s side, senior Shawn Matthews set the school-record in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:46.20. Matthews, junior Kevin Gallagher, sophomore Michael Naccarelli, and senior Nader Amer combined to finish with a time of 3:00.85 in the 400 freestyle relay, another school record. The Men’s team finished with solid contributions on the year from freshman Stephen Fay, freshman Luke Robbins, senior Jeff Collier, and freshman Derek Bui. “This class has really shaped the team,” Crispino said. “I’ll remember them for being some of the best swim-mers we’ve ever had here, but also for being some of the best leaders we’ve ever had. Over the course of their four years, they’ve managed to transform the program into something really special,” Crispino said. With a record-setting season and exceptional lead-ers as their prize, the Swimming and Diving teams made their early morning starts worth the loss of sleep.
