The #2-ranked women's swimming and diving team cruised to a 175-81 win over Gettysburg College in a swim-only dual on Wednesday, January 14, in Gettysburg, PA. It was the team's first competition since early December. 

"It was great to get back to racing," said Head Coach Trevor Miele. "The group has been training hard over the past two weeks, and it was great to see them step up and put up some strong times." 

The Violets were victorious in 11 of the day's 14 events and swept the top-three spots in four races.

Kaley McIntyre picked up where she left off with a pair of individual first-place finishes in the 50 (23.54) and 200-yard (1:52.82) freestyles. She also joined Nicole Ranile, Sammy Wong, and Maeve O'Donnell in winning the 200-yard medley relay (1:46.12).

Aanya Wala had a successful day in the distance events with individual wins in the 500 (5:06.79) and 1000-yard (10.33.59) freestyles. Wong also posted two individual first-place finishes in the 100 (1:06.18) and 200-yard (2:22.86) breaststrokes. 

Other top finishers for NYU included Nicole Ranile in the 100-yard backstroke (57.93), Eloise Emig in the 200-yard backstroke (2:03.87), Reina Gomez in the 200-yard butterfly (2:05.39), and Lian Jeong Engle in the 100-yard freestyle (52.18).

"Kaley had another strong meet, and it was great to see Babette and Sammy step up in breaststroke and IM," added Miele. "Aanya dominated the distance events."

The Violets will return to the pool this week with a home meet against Johns Hopkins University on Saturday, January 17, at the Palladium Athletic Facility at 1:00pm. The dual will also serve as Senior Day.
