Chock Leads Swimming at Notre Dame, Diving Places in Texas

McDougall demonstrated versatility and consistency within those races.

"This was a good opportunity to race some non-Ivy League schools," McDougall said. "It's time for us to realize that we can compete against Division I scholarship schools. This meet was important for the morale of the team."

Freshmen Kate Nadeau and Katie Wilbur followed Chock and McDougall's lead with strong swims in their respective events.

In the 200 fly, all five of the team's seniors qualified for finals and four were in the Championship heat. Nadeau battled to a 2nd place finish in 2:05.

Wilbur provided damaging middle distance prowess with a strong morning swim in the 200-yard backstroke (2:06.28) and a solid evening swim in the 400-yard individual medley. She finished eighth and fourth respectively.

"I think our team did a good job of racing," senior Lillian Brown said. "Even though many of us were tired and broken down, it was good to swim a trials and finals meet. This was good practice for the Ivy Championships, where it is really important to be top 8 or top 16 in the morning."

The Crimson feels it improved on its performance from two weeks ago against Brown.
