LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -- Kutztown women's swimming was victorious in 12-of-14 events to take care of PSAC foe Lock Haven, 138-105, in a road dual meet at Zimmerli Pool Saturday afternoon.
Gracie McKee (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) was part of four wins for the second meet in a row, with teammates
Annamarie Rodier (Mount Laurel, N.J./Lenape),
Ana Soto (Hamburg, N.J./Vernon Township) and
Frannie Pease-Wingenter (Goodyear, Ariz./Millennium) collecting three wins apiece.
Kutztown (6-5, 5-4 PSAC) won the meet's first five event, starting with the 200-yard medley relay. McKee,
Jade Ware (Easton, Pa./Wilson Area), Soto and Pease-Wingenter cruised to the victory by almost eight seconds, clocking in with a 1:54.64.
Natasha Sheehy (Tempe, Australia/MLC School) followed with a win in the 1000 freestyle (11:09.81), Rodier bested the PSAC cut time to take the 200 freestyle in 2:01.33, Pease-Wingenter captured the 100 backstroke in 1:06.28 and McKee achieved another PSAC cut time to triumph in the 100 breaststroke (1:11.23).
Emma Pequignot broke up KU's torrid start with a win for the Bald Eagles in the 200 butterfly, but the Bears started another five-event win streak with Rodier (25.92) and Soto (26.23) going 1-2 in the 50 free.
McKee won her second individual event of the day in the 200 back with a PSAC time of 2:14.02, Soto outlasted teammate Pease-Wingenter to win the 200 free (57.63),
Jade Ware (Easton, Pa./Wilson Area) took the 200 breast (2:38.48) and
Olivia Bing (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) claimed the 500 free in a personal season-best 5:49.58.
With the dual in hand, coach
Tim Flannery opted to designate his swimmers exhibition status for the final three events. Rodier still posted the best time in the 200 IM with a PSAC cut of 2:18.21 and the 200 free relay of McKee, Pease-Wingenter, Soto and Sheehy closed the meet with the top time (1:44.41).
Kutztown will complete its regular season next Saturday with a tri-meet at East Stroudsburg against the host Warriors and Felician. Following the meet, the Golden Bears will turn their attention towards the PSAC Championships, Feb. 15-18, at the Graham Aquatic Center in York, Pa.
