GAMBIER, Ohio – Moments before Friday evening's home dual meets with Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio Northern universities, the Kenyon College Ladies swimming and diving team honored members of its senior class. Following the celebration, the Ladies jumped in the water, got to work and logged a clean sweep, defeating Ohio Wesleyan, 145-79, and Ohio Northern, 195-46.

Sophia Kuvan, one of the eight seniors on the Kenyon team, set the tone. She opened the meet by swimming the breaststroke leg on the Ladies' winning 200-yard medley relay team. She joined Caitlin Foley, Hannah Orbach-Mandel and Marysol Arce to post the race's top time of 1:49.69. Seven events later, Kuvan chalked up an individual win, taking the 100-yard freestyle in 53.35.

Kanchi Desai, another senior, logged two more event wins for the Ladies. She first won the 1,000-yard freestyle in 10:29.95 and then claimed victory on the 100-yard backstroke by completing the race in 1:01.43.

Kenyon had a couple more two-time event winners. Freshmen Crile Hart and Caylee Hamilton both swam a leg on the Ladies' winning 200-yard freestyle relay team. They paired with fellow freshmen Emmerson Mirus and Peyton Ristau to clock in at 1:38.11. On their own, Hart was fastest in the 50-yard freestyle (23.92) and Hamilton was victorious in the 200-yard freestyle (1:57.53).

Junior Madeline Carlson tacked on two more Kenyon wins in diving competition. She topped the three-meter competition with a score of 237.20 and later finished off the evening's slate of events by taking first on the one-meter board with a score of 230.15.

Overall, there were 13 events held and Kenyon won every one of them. The Ladies' other event winners included Sydney Matteson in the 200-yard individual medley (2:11.49), Amy Socha in the 100-yard butterfly (57.57), Alexis Vetrano in the 500-yard freestyle (5:11.69) and Makena Markert in the 100-yard breaststroke.

The two wins puts Kenyon's dual meet record at 4-2. The Ladies will compete in their final dual meet of the season tomorrow at the University of Cincinnati. That meet is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.
