McNicholas Breaks 3M Record Again
LOUDONVILLE, NY – The ink was barely dry on the Sacred Heart University women's swimming & diving record book when junior diver Olivia McNicholas topped her own mark. For the second week in a row, she reset the three-meter mark, but the Pioneers fell, 174.5-124.5, at Sienna on Saturday.
McNicholas topped her record set last week with a winning score of 246.22, nearly two points better than before. She swept the diving events by winning the one-meter competition with a personal-best score of 243.14. Coming in second in the three meter was Lola Barrett with a personal-best 233.69 that's fourth in school history.
Two Pioneers were double winners. Sophomore Meghan Hammarlund doubled up the backstroke events, taking the 100 back in 1:01.93 then touched the wall in 2:12.80 in the 200 back. Sweeping the butterfly races was sophomore Melanie Sanchez as she posted a winning time of 2:12.74 in the 200 to go along with her 100 fly mark of 1:01.03.
Rookie Charlotte Kaduson continued the strong start to her career by winning the 1000 free in 10:55.39 then took fourth in the 500 free at 5:24.74. Teammate Olivia Ronaghan was third in the 500 with a 5:21.84. A third-place showing was turned in by Carolina Duhamel with 11:11.59 in the 1000 free.
The 400 IM had two Pioneers in the top three, led by Emma Chambers' second place 4:51.92. Daniella Palamaro hit the wall in third at 4:53.65. Also turning in a third-place performance was Emma Davis (50 free – 25.39), Kelly Bartnett (100 free – 55.37) and Rosemery Nieto (200 breaststroke – 2:32.72).
SHU is off until the ECAC Championships, Dec. 2-4.
