The New York University women's swimming team returned to the pool for the first time in 2019 and defeated host Long Island University-Post 111-71 on Friday, January 11, in Brookville, NY.
NYU, ranked #4 in the College Swimming Coaches Association of American Division III poll, evened its record at 2-2 on the season, while the Division II Pioneers are now 1-5.
"I was very pleased with how the women swam today," said Head Coach
Trevor Miele. "We returned from our training trip last night, so we had an exhausted group. But, they still performed very well."
The Violets won nine of 11 events and were led by
Sydney Catron, who earned victories in the 200-yard freestyle (1:57.70) and 500-yard freestyle (5:10.65), and
Honore Collins, who won the 100-yard freestyle (54.23) and the 200-yard IM (2:11.45).
Collins was also victorious as part of the 200-yard medley relay team, where she was joined by
May Li,
Erica Yuen and
Sarah Stone. The foursome finished in 1:49.47, edging out a LIU-Post quartet by .19 seconds.
Other NYU winners on Friday included Jamie Robinson (1,000-yard freestyle; 10:36.37),
