Women’s 200 IM

NCAA Record: 1:58.81 – Caroline Wilson, Williams (2013)
2016 Champion: 2:01.15 – Emily Hyde, Amherst

A pair of Emory Eagles took over the consolation final; Ashley Daniels (2:03.16) and Ming-Fen Ong (2:03.62) both had strong back halves of this race to take advantage of the field. Both swims were big time drops for the swimmers as they earned 16 valuable points on the board as Emory looks to gain on Kenyon in the team scores.

Virtually a four-way tie at the 150 mark, NYU freshman Honore Collins utilized her dominant freestyle leg to her advantage once again. She out-split the field by over half a second on this leg, finishing in a total time of 2:00.97. Collins came to NYU with a 2:06.39 in this event, and finished fourth a few weeks ago at the UAA Championships. But unlike UAAs, Collins made a statement by bettering her performance at night and earning her first National Title.

Williams’ backstroker Olivia Jackson touched second in 2:01.49, another breakthrough swim of the night. She was the only swim to break :30 on the second leg posting a 29.44 to put her in the lead at the halfway point. Emory senior Annelise Kowalsky finished third in 2:01.81 and was followed by Kenyon’s Julia Wilson in 2:02.18. Emory’s Julia Durmer also placed sixth in this event, giving 29 more points to Emory when combined with Kowalsky.
