The men’s and women’s swim teams came away from Ware Pool with a split against conference rival Ursinus on Nov. 24. The men swam away from the Bears to a 131-74 victory, while the women lost to the visitors in a narrow 106-99 decision.
The Swarthmore men (2-3, 2-1 CC) swam to victory on the strength of two victories from Sterling Satterfield ’11 in the 200-yard individual medley (2:04.56) and the 200-yard breaststroke (2:17.46) and 1-2 and 1-2-3 sweeps in the 50 and 100-yard freestyles.
Not to be outdone, Jake Benveniste ’13 and Tyler Hanson ’13 swept the 500-yard freestyle in conference-leading times of 4:56.25 and 4:56.88.
Distance ace Anne Miller ’10 racked up 27 points for the women (2-3, 1-2 CC) with wins in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:53.35), the 200-yard freestyle (2:02.76) and 500-yard freestyle (5:22.25). The Garnet held a 95-93 lead before the final event, but Ursinus clinched the upset with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
The swimming teams will return to Ware Pool tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. to host seven teams, including Division I Drexel University, in the Swarthmore Fall Invitational.
