OBERLIN, Ohio -- The Kenyon College women's swimming and diving team, who was not competing at full strength as a portion of their roster was in Cincinnati, Ohio, battling the NCAA DI University of Cincinnati Bearcats, dominated their double-dual against Oberlin College and Ohio Northern University. 

The Owls finished first in 13 of the 14 events in which they competed while also notching nine second-place finishes, earning a 181-88 win over the hosting Oberlin Yeowomen and a 194-61 victory against the ONU Polar Bears.

Kenyon claimed the top two spots in each of the first five events, going 1-2 in the 200-yard medley relay, the 1000- and 200-yard freestyles, the 100-yard backstroke, and the 100-yard breaststroke. 

Caleigh Wukitch, Jean Cook, Celia Ford, and Nikola Kovacova opened the dual by winning the 200-yard medley relay. In the first individual event of the evening, Christine Kessens took the top spot in the 1000-yard freestyle before Lucy Patterson cruised to a victory in the 200-yard freestyle, where the Owls finished 1-2-3.

Patterson tied Cooke, Kovacova, and Wukitch for the team lead with three event wins apiece. Cook, Patterson, and Wukitch claimed two individual victories and one relay team title, while Kovacova was part of two relay wins and one individual triumph.

Patterson added wins in the 500-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle relay and nearly added the 50-yard freestyle to her belt before finishing second. Wukitch followed up her 200-yard medley relay crown with individual victories in the 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard butterfly. Cook, who was also part of the 200-yard medley relay title, bagged wins in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke races.

Kovacova bookended the dual as part of Kenyon's winning 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relay teams. Between those victories, the sophomore finished first in the 100-yard freestyle. Celia Ford was part of the two winning relay teams, swimming third for the 200-yard medley relay quartet before swimming anchor for the 400-yard freestyle relay team.

Other Owls to top the podium included Grace Jansen (200-yard butterfly), Ceyda Yazici (200-yard backstroke), and Christine Kessens (200-yard individual medley).

After falling earlier in the day in their dual against Cincinnati, the Owls boosted their season record to 6-1 by sweeping the double-dual.

Kenyon is scheduled to swim twice more before the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships. The Owls will head to Case Western Reserve University on Jan. 21 before hosting Miami University (OH) on Jan. 27, Kenyon's Senior Day.
