Owls edged out by Big Red

GAMBIER, Ohio – The Kenyon College women's swimming and diving team took on No. 4 nationally-ranked conference rival Denison University in a highly competitive dual-meet. With five individual event wins and a relay victory, the Owls fell to Big Red, 159-141. 

The Owls took the first relay right out the gate with Kate Dunagan, Kelsey Van Eldik, Afsana Rawlins, and Kate Bogan clocking a winning 200-yard medley relay time of 1:45.33.

Rawlins went on to win her individual event, the 100-yard freestyle, with a first-place time of 52.61. Dunagan also contributed points in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke events. She placed second with times of 58.36 and 2:07.96, respectively.

Senior Sofia Giordano was victorious in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing at 2:06.89, and took second place by milliseconds in the 100-yard butterfly, with a time of 57.76. In the 400-yard individual medley, senior Ashlyn Widmer clocked a winning time of 4:34.58, to beat her Denison competitors by four seconds.

Junior Nora Lee Brown won both of her freestyle events, those being the 500-yard and 1000-yard. She clocked first-place times of 5:05.43 and 10:25.75, respectively. 

In the diving well, Lucy Cassell-Kelley was the top-scoring Kenyon diver, placing first on the 3-meter board with 239.48 points and second on the 1-meter board with 225.83 points.

During the last third of the meet, Denison started to pull away with winning placements in the 200-yard breaststroke, 100-yard butterfly, and 200-yard freestyle relay team, after an unfortunate disqualification of what would have been a Kenyon winning score.

The Owls are back in the pool in two weeks when they host the four-day Total Performance Invitational, on November 18-21, at the Steen Aquatic Center.
