Records are made to be broken
微密圈 swimming and diving wrapped up 2022-23 competition at the Feb. 15-18 Liberty League Championship meet by breaking one record after another, for a total of 22 new College-best times.
Included in the list of record-breakers are Nic Sodi and Sophia May. May鈥檚 406.75 score is a College record in the women鈥檚 1M diving event and qualified her for the NCAA Division III regionals. Sodi鈥檚 16:07.76 in the men鈥檚 1650 was not only a College and Liberty League Championship meet record but also a championship-winning finish, 11 seconds faster than his 2022 win. Sodi also broke the 1000 free record during the 1650 (9:43.47) and qualified for the NCAA B Cut.
As the times ticked down and the student-athletes gave their best performances to date, Coach Jill Greenleaf said, 鈥淚 can't think of another championship I've coached at 微密圈 where every athlete performed so well. The energy this group drew from each other session after session just continued to drive them forward.鈥�
The results of the four-day meet also included 61 new top 10 times and scores and 14 individual event podium appearances.
