RESULTS

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Kenyon College Ladies swimming and diving team made the short trip to The Ohio State University on Friday night to swim against some NCAA Division I competition. The Ladies put up some good individual times, but were overpowered by the host Buckeyes, 254-40, as well as the University of Akron Zips, 229-60.
 
The Buckeyes finished the evening with a dozen first-place finishes and seven podium sweeps against Kenyon and Akron. There were 16 events in all and Akron swimmers claimed wins in the four events that Ohio State didn't win.

For Kenyon, the top finisher was junior Crile Hart, who took fourth place in the 200-yard individual medley by clocking in at 2:06.44. Earlier in the meet, Hart also logged a 10th-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. Her time in that race was 2:08.31.

Other top-10 finishers for the Ladies on Friday included freshman Ania Axas, sophomore Andrea Perttula, and junior Claire Murray. Axas took ninth place in the 100-yard butterfly by clocking in at 58.76. Perttula was 10th in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 54.06. Murray also placed 10th, but in two events. The first was the 200-yard freestyle, which she completed in 1:58.05. The second was the 200-yard breaststroke, which she finished in 2:29.61.

The Ladies get right back in the pool tomorrow. They don't, however, get a break from Division I competition, as they will host Michigan State University beginning at 2 p.m.
