It has been a good friendship,\u201d Murtagh said. \u201cIt has honestly been a great experience so far. We usually discuss some of what we are learning. It has been a good way of adjusting, having people in the same program as me. I am in most of the same classes as Rachel. If I didn\u2019t understand something, she could explain it and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That bond has helped them in swimming, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is great. Madison is a grad transfer like me. We take classes together,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThere is always a lot to talk about. We are always studying together. It is nice to have the support and commonality. You never feel like you are alone. Sometimes it is hard to balance things but everyone is going through the same thing. Alice is a little further ahead, but she definitely helps us out. It is nice to have that connection. The girls are really great, they really support you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scarabelli is a year ahead in the group\u2019s communication program. She is happy to have some company in her program from her teammates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is pretty cool. Last year, I was the only one. It is cool to be able to talk with each other about assignments, papers, class, and rely on each other. It made us connect more. We share on a daily basis. I feel less alone,\u201d said Scarabelli, an international student from Milan.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_516654\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-516654\" data-attachment-id=\"516654\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rutgers-grad-trio-of-madison-murtagh-rachel-kimmel-alice-scarabelli-leading-historic-surge-of-scarlet-knights\/college-swimming-and-diving-feb-19-big-ten-womens-swimming-and-diving-championship\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/alice-scarabelli-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1860,1240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Lawrence Iles&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS-1D X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;MADISON, WI - FEBRUARY 19: Big Ten Women&#039;s Swimming and Diving Championship on February 19, 2022 at the Soderholm Family Aquatic Center in Madison, WI.

Photo Courtesy: Lawrence Iles\/Rutgers Athletics<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The trio has been instrumental in showcasing that growing culture at Rutgers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take our team culture incredibly seriously,\u201d Rutgers coach <strong>Jon Maccoll<\/strong> said. \u201cThat was mission one when I started. We do team building every single week. That has been a big part of it. Having them in a same program is great. Having great programs and multiple sections has helped everyone. They are never caught off guard with anything because they all have people there with them. The culture is on track and we know what we want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the culture rising, so is the speed.<\/p>\n<p>The Scarlett Knights<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rutgers-earns-first-ever-win-over-purdue-in-big-ten-showdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> defeated Purdue for the first time<\/a> in Big Ten competition, the relays have been breaking school records and the grad trio \u2014 and more \u2014 are chasing down NCAA qualifying times.<\/p>\n<p>All of that success is contagious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy for the team. It is good when you can be inspired by your teammates,\u201d Scarabelli said. \u201cSometimes we are inspired by great athletes all over the world, but sometimes we really need to stop and see what is around us and be inspired by what people around us are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biggest inspirational moment was that dual meet win over Purdue. It was a two-day meet that built over the course of the weekend. The Scarlet Knights even DQed a relay and still had enough.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_516643\" style=\"width: 459px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-516643\" data-attachment-id=\"516643\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rutgers-grad-trio-of-madison-murtagh-rachel-kimmel-alice-scarabelli-leading-historic-surge-of-scarlet-knights\/rachel-kimmel-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-5-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1667041357&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rachel-kimmel-5\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;rachel-kimmel-5&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Rutgers Athletics&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-5-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-5-1024x683.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-516643\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-5-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"rachel-kimmel-5\" width=\"449\" height=\"321\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-516643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachel Kimmel. Photo Courtesy: Rutgers Athletics<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt was awesome. I think I teared up,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cWe put it all in together. It was a team effort. It felt so rewarding. It was exciting seeing that work starting to show. It shows that we are here and we are competitive. You can\u2019t just brush us off that easily. A lot of it is the mentality. We had a meeting at the beginning of the school year defining what our program is going to be. We wanted to be an elite program. That goes into our training. We have high expectations. We don\u2019t take an easy lap. We are always talking about grit and staying after it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was the message to the team before the meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been amazing. I know at Purdue, I didn\u2019t realize how big of a deal that was until right before,\u201d Murtagh said. \u201cI and I kept telling the team that we were going to win. We had a dance party on the locker room. Everybody was happy and energized. And we went out and swam fast. It was a really cool experience. We had a relay DQd but we still got it done.\u201d<br \/>\nScarabelli was just as excited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was pretty exciting, I am not going to lie,\u201d Scarabelli said. \u201cI was here last year when we lost. This year was really good. I almost couldn\u2019t believe it until the very end. I was so proud of everyone. We had a really good time and we are going to remember that day for a very long time, not just because we won, but what we went through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Scarlet Knights are looking to build toward the Big Ten and NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been good. We have some high goals. We are not the least bit satisfied. We were leading at Harvard and Princeton and ended up a couple of swims away,\u201d Maccoll said. \u201cA few years ago we only had a few kids. I am proud of the develop. In year five, we have hit our stride with knowing who fits the culture as far as freshman or grad students. The women are getting faster, and the grad students stand out in that regard, but we have freshman (and others) swimming extremely fast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are doing very well, I\u2019d give us a B in recruiting freshmen. What is really interesting is that athletes who have been through the process really seem to like us. We have a ton of transfers and grad students. I find it interesting that athletes who are a little more mature and understand things a little more, seems to want to come to Rutgers.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_516647\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-516647\" data-attachment-id=\"516647\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rutgers-grad-trio-of-madison-murtagh-rachel-kimmel-alice-scarabelli-leading-historic-surge-of-scarlet-knights\/madison-murtagh-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/madison-murtagh-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1440,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1667039069&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"madison-murtagh-2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;madison-murtagh-2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Rutgers Athletics&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/madison-murtagh-2-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/madison-murtagh-2-819x1024.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-516647\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/madison-murtagh-2-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"madison-murtagh-2\" width=\"365\" height=\"261\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-516647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Madison Murtagh. Photo Courtesy: Rutgers Athletics<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But there are enough freshmen coming in each year to continue to build, along with the grad students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe obviously want to win every meet we can, but every year I have been here, we have had kids at NCAAs. We were 27th last year and now diving has been huge for us and the grad transfers and recruits,\u201d Maccoll said. \u201cThat has put us in position that we could be a top 25 team at NCAAs every year. That would take 20-25 points from swimming and 20-25 points from diving. That is very possible. We have to get some relays there and relays scoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel will be a big part of the relays, especially the medley relays. She is a breaststroke specialist that swam Division I at St. Bonaventure before coming to Rutgers. Her top times are 1:00.75 in the 100 and 2:12.85 in the 200.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to see what I go at Big Tens. I would like to go under a minute on my 100 breast. I would love to make it to NCAAs. If we could get a relay or two, that would be amazing, too. It is going to be a team effort to get the relay there. It requires the whole team to get there,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThis is my last year and I have loved it so far. I just want to make sure I have fun and appreciate the time I have left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love when I finish championship season. I swam in the Atlantic 10 Conference and now I am in the Big Ten. Finishing that last race and knowing the team has put it all the work, it is exhausting but wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_516640\" style=\"width: 539px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-516640\" data-attachment-id=\"516640\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rutgers-grad-trio-of-madison-murtagh-rachel-kimmel-alice-scarabelli-leading-historic-surge-of-scarlet-knights\/rachel-kimmel-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1100,734\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS R5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1667055085&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rachel-kimmel-1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;rachel-kimmel-1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Rutgers Athletics&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-516640\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rachel-kimmel-1-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"rachel-kimmel-1\" width=\"529\" height=\"378\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-516640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachel Kimmel.

I felt a part of something bigger than I have in my life. In Italy we don\u2019t have the same situations there. I grew as a person and an athlete,\u201d said Scarabelli, who swims the backstroke and shorter freestyle events. Her top times in the freestyle events are 23.94 (50), 49.40 (100), 1:45.67 (200) and 4:44.56 (500). In the backstroke events she has been a 53.29 and 1:59.08 \u201cI want to enjoy my last year, for sure. Aiming for Big Tens and fingers crossed, NCAAs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murtagh is hoping for the same thing, but in longer races. The former Penn State swimmer is a distance freestyle specialist for the Scarlet Knights. Her times have been as fast as 1:49.91 (200), 4:48.50 (500), 9:51.95 (1,000) and 16:23.96 (1,500).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been going faster than I ever have in dual meets. I am always wanting to do better, even if I go really fast. When I do go really fast, it builds my confidence, but then I want to go faster,\u201d Murtagh said. \u201cI really want to make NCAAs. I want the team to do really well. I want us to finish higher than we did last year and more girls make NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis group of girls is amazing and I am super excited for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rutgers Grad Trio Of Madison Murtagh, Rachel Kimmel, Alice Scarabelli Leading Historic Surge of Scarlet Knights Once an afterthought in
