ANNAPOLIS, Maryland, January 12. THE Navy women's swimming and diving team totaled seven first-place finishes as the Mids split a double-dual meet against Cornell and Yale, Saturday afternoon in Lejeune Hall. The Mids (12-1) dropped a 174-126 decision to Yale (2-2) and posted a 175-125 victory over Cornell (2-5). In the remaining contest, the Bulldogs recorded a 219-81 win over the Big Red. <\/p>\n
Yale matched Navy with seven event victories during the meet, but the Bulldogs accrued nine second and third-place finishes with the Mids placing second in seven events and third just once. <\/p>\n
Thuy-Mi Dinh (So., Anaheim, Calif.) highlighted the Navy efforts on the day as she recorded victories during each of her three individual events. She posted a time of 1:05.79 to win the 100 backstroke, won the 50 free with a clocking of 26.05 and recorded a 57.92 to win the 100 freestyle. <\/p>\n
Diver Katie Griffin (Sr., Ellicott City, Md.) continued her strong season by sweeping both boards during the meet. She totaled 241.95 points to win the one-meter event by 10 points then scored 308.40 points to win the three-meter event by 53 points. <\/p>\n
Also recording wins for Navy on the day were Allison Ranzau (Fr., Alpharetta, Ga.) and Kelly Zahalka (Jr., Richmond, Va.). Ranzau won the 200 free with a time of 2:05.71 and Zahalka won the 200 individual medley with a clocking of 2:21.90. <\/p>\n
"Yale swam extremely well today," said Navy head coach John Morrison. "I was a little disappointed in some of our times. We need to step up better. We did have a number of good swims and had a lot of close races, but we need to race better and stronger throughout the meet." <\/p>\n
Navy will continue its season in two weeks when the Mids play host to Penn Jan. 26. <\/p>\n
