LEWISBURG, Pennsylvania, July 13. ALICIA Aemisegger (Germantown Academy) and Leah Gingrich (West Shore YMCA) stood out on the third day of action at the Middle Atlantic Championships, held at Bucknell University. Aemisegger, a member of the United States squad that will compete later this summer at the World University Games, was a double-event winner while Gingrich established a meet standard in the 200 freestyle.<\/p>\n
Heading into her sophomore year at Princeton University, Aemisegger doubled in the 200 breaststroke and 400 individual medley. Aemisegger lowered her one-year-old meet record in the 200 breast with a mark of 2:35.14, quicker than the 2:37.00 of Caitlin Meehan (Big Cat). Aemisegger then won the 400 I.M., her prime event, in a meet record of 4:48.04, ahead of the 4:51.76 by Gingrich.<\/p>\n
Already the winner of the 400 and 800 freestyle events, Gingrich added another freestyle title to her portfolio when she set a meet record in the 200 distance. Gingrich, who earlier this year competed in the World Championships in Melbourne in the open-water discipline, covered her four laps in 2:02.02. That effort provided a come-from-behind triumph over Germantown's Katie Riefenstahl, who touched second in 2:02.18. Riefenstahl won the 50 and 100 freestyles in earlier action.<\/p>\n
Kevin McCarthy (Atlantis) won the 200 free on the men's side in 1:54.25, with Sean Biedermann (Big Cat) placing second in 1:54.47. Complementing an earlier triumph in the 100 breaststroke, Suburban Swim Center's Justin Davidson bested the field in the 200 breast with a time of 2:24.75. In the men's 400 I.M., Andrew Gemmell (Delaware Swim Team) broke his meet record with an effort of 4:28.86.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
