SHENANDOAH, Texas – The Kenyon Ladies swimming team wrapped up the NCAA Division III Championship on Saturday night with a third-place finish at the Conroe ISD Natatorium. For the program, it's the 37th straight year that they have finished in the top five of the national meet.
 
Emory University won the title with 645.5 points with Williams College following in second with 445. Kenyon tallied 381 points by meet's end.
 
There were a trio of top-three performances on the evening and it started with sophomore Marysol Arce.
 
In the 1,650 freestyle, she touched the wall with a season-best mark of 16:39.11 which was good for second place. Freshman Gail Anderson also took part in the event and added her third All-America finish of the meet as she claimed seventh in 16:58.68.
 
Kenyon's next-best finish came from breaststroke specialist Julia Wilson. In the 200, Wilson posted a time of 2:15.30 which slotted her in third.
 
The Ladies' final third-place showing came in the final event of the night, the 400 freestyle relay. Hannah Orbach-Mandel, Sophia Kuvan, Delaney Ambrosen and Abby Wilson completed the race in 3:23.37. That was a season-best time for the team.
 
Additionally, Orbach-Mandel was the consolation winner (9th) during the 100 freestyle event (50.67) while Abby Wilson followed her with a season-best mark of 50.75.
 
Ambrosen rounded out the Ladies' best efforts in the 200 backstroke. The sophomore touched the wall in 1:59.57 which slotted her in fifth. That finish also improved on her performance from last year when she finished in 2:03.07 (16th). Furthermore, fellow second-year swimmer Caitlin Foley secured her first career All-America award with a 13th-place spot.
