Washington and Lee has dominated the dual meets it has swum, losing only to perennial national power Carnegie Mellon. Among those wins was a dual meet win against Randolph-Macon, but the meet was a lot closer than the score-line indicated. A couple of clutch swims from Washington and Lee kept the meet from going to Randolph-Macon. In a rematch at the 2014 Yellow Jacket Invite, Washington and Lee once again came out on top, but not before Randolph-Macon took the lead going into the final session. It will be interesting to see which team wins out: Washington and Lee and its depth, or Randolph-Macon with its few studs.<\/p>\n<h2>2. ODAC Records &amp; the National Scene<\/h2>\n<p>The ODAC record has already been set this year in a couple of events: the women\u2019s 200 IM, 200 freestyle and 100 breaststroke. The women who broke those records are hoping to break them again\u2014while also making NCAA cuts in the process. Emory and Henry and Washington and Lee sophomores Michaela Nolte (100 breaststroke, 1:05.46), Emily Rollo (200 IM, 2:08.20) and Elisabeth Holmes (200 free, 1:53.37) are all within striking distance of NCAA \u2018B\u2019 cuts in their respective events and are all hoping to break through to the national scene. Watch for Nolte and Holmes to battle it out in the 800 free relay\u2014Nolte was 1:54.45 leading off at the Union Invitational.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Men\u2019s 50 Freestyle<\/h2>\n<p>This is going to be an exciting race for all to watch, especially since the top two swimmers are separated by 25 hundredths. In the two times that Randolph-Macon sophomore Mohamed Saleh and Washington and Lee freshman Tommy Thetford have raced, Thetford has come out on top, but not by much. It will be interesting to see if the sophomore will be able to come out on top when it counts the most. It will also be interesting to see if Thetford will be close to the 2014 NCAA Invited time of 20.64, a good indication of if the freshman will make the NCAA Championship meet in March.<\/p>\n<h2>4. 100 Backstroke<\/h2>\n<p>A mixture of incoming and returning talent will make both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 100 backstroke an exciting race. On the women\u2019s side, Washington and Lee has the top incoming swimmer, freshmen Kira Tomenchok, and the reigning ODAC champion in junior Stephanie Foster. Tomenchok has been close to the NCAA \u2018B\u2019 cut already this year, going 58.13 back in November. Foster achieved the \u2018B\u2019 cut last year when she went 57.76, setting a new ODAC record in the process. Also be on the lookout for Washington and Lee\u2019s Caroline Hamp and Emory and Henry\u2019s Jessica Richardon and Marina Moore, who have all been close to breaking a minute in the event.<br \/>\nOn the men\u2019s side, the star of the show is Randolph-Macon senior Bobby Brajdic, who leads the rest of the field by almost a second. Brajdic is looking to break through to the national scene also. To do so, he will have to drop over a second from his seed time (51.78) to be in contention to be invited to the meet. But, on his heels, are teammate Mohamed Saleh and Washington and Lee sophomore Brendan Haley. Haley is making his return to the ODAC after taking a year off. Haley made the NCAA Championship meet his freshman year, and will look to go again this year.<\/p>\n<h2>5.

In a meet that could be determined by a couple of big swims, this relay will be a momentum grabber for the team that wins it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nelson Helm, Swimming World College Intern The homestretch of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference is upon us.
