Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Places First After Day Two

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Roger Williams Swimming & Diving team continues their success after day two of the NEISDA Championships this weekend. Both men's and women's teams are in first place heading into day three.

On the women's team, Ellie Field (Adams, Mass.) placed first in the 50 Yard Freestyle with a time of 24.17. Catherine Oppenheim (Sudbury, Mass.) and Gabrielle Pielka (Mahwah, N.J.) placed second in their individual events including the 50 Yard Breaststroke (31.09) and the 200 Yard Backstroke (2:09.12). As far as the relays go, the women placed third in the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay (1:39.36) and second in the 400 Yard Medley Relay (4:03.06).

For the men, Andrew Reagan (Middletown, Conn.) and Gabe Pasqualucci (Southbury, Conn.) were victorious in their individual events such as the 200 Yard IM (1:56.61) and the 50 Yard Freestyle (21.10). Andy Paul (Sunderland, Mass.) and Liam Connors (Brookfield, Conn.) each placed second in the 50 Yard Breaststroke (27.08) and the 200 Yard Backstroke (1:56.25). In the 500 Yard Freestyle, Kirk Schultz (Cos Cob, Conn.) came in third touching the wall at 4:43.51. Jeffrey Lyman (North Providence, R.I.) also placed third in the 200 Yard Backstroke at 1:56.93. The relays went extremely well for the Hawks placing first in both the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay (1:25.19) and the 400 Yard Medley Relay (3:27.26).

Yesterday, two school records were broken including the 50 Freestyle school record by Pasqualucci and the 400 Medley Relay school record by Eamon McKenney (Portsmouth, R.I.), Hunter Wronski (Shelton, Conn.), Hunter Olson (Framingham, Mass.), and Pasqualucci.

Coach Matt Emmert states, "It was a great session for us tonight! Every member made it back to finals in every event. Above all, we're winning "the deck" with our energy and juice for each other. If we can keep that up for the next four sessions, we can be proud of our results."

The Hawks look to continue to excel in the following two days of competition during the championships.
