Orstein Sets Division III Record in 200 I.M.

HOLLAND, Mich., March 10. SHE started the year at the University of Tennessee, but didn’t find a comfort zone. Now, she’s a national champion at the Division III level and the division’s fastest performer in the history of the 200 individual medley.

A freshman at Washington & Jefferson, Kaitlyn Orstein popped a 2:03.18 clocking Thursday night, the first evening of the Division III Championships. Orstein's swim lowered her own record, set last month during conference-championship action. Orstein was followed to the wall by Hiram’s Elizabeth Groselle (2:04.90).

Meanwhile, Emory University is looking to dethrone Kenyon College, which has won the last three championships and 20 of the past 21. Emory rocketed to the lead after the first day of competition. Emory totaled 130.5 points while Kenyon tallied 105 points for second place. Carleton is in third with 82 points, followed by Amherst (81).

Emory’s first-place day was aided by a first-place finish by Sam White (4:57.50) in the 500 freestyle and a third-place effort in the event by Leigh Campbell (5:01.06). Emory was fifth in the 200 free relay and seventh in the 400 medley relay.

Carleton College’s Marie Marsman, a triple-event record holder, notched a pair of wins on the opening night. After leading Carleton to gold in the 200 freestyle relay (1:35.59), Marsman blasted the competition in the 50 freestyle, where she went 22.98. Marsman holds the Division III record in the event at 22.78, set in February. In relay action, Marsman was joined by Jennifer Grove, Andrea Barbera and Jennifer Gratz.

Williams College capped the night with a victory in the 400 medley relay. Powered by Lindsay Payne on the breaststroke leg (1:01.29), Williams was timed in 3:48.75. The remainder of the team consisted of Jessica Yankura, Mary Stranghoener and Katie O’Brien.
