BABBITT— Strong showings in several events kept the Nighthawks’ swim team in contention in a face-off with Virginia here on Tuesday. The Nighthawks’ 200 freestyle relay squad, comprised of Lily Tedrick, Cedar Ohlhauser, Abby Koivisto, and Morgan McClelland, took first with a time of 1:56.81, besting their Virginia opponents by nearly four seconds.
In the 200 medley relay, Tedrick, Ohlhauser, Koivisto and Brooke Pasmick finished a close second to Virginia with a time of 2:11.90, less than a second off the pace of Virginia’s top finishers.
In individual competition, McClelland blew past the competition in the 500-yard free with a time of 6:37.28, beating the next closest competitor by nearly ten seconds in the distance event.
Tedrick took first in the 100-yard fly, with a time of 1:10 even, topping the second-place finisher by more than five seconds. Senior Brooke Pasmick finished at the top of the pack in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:09.87 and missed a first-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle by 0.32 of a second. Koivisto finished a close second in the 100-yard freestyle, losing by less than half a second to Virginia’s Elise Hoard.
