Huntingdon, Pa., Juniata women's swimming hosted Kutztown University in the Binder Natatorium on Saturday. The Eagles fell to the Division II Golden Bears 105-75. Kutztown began exhibitioning after the 400 Meter Freestyle.
It was Senior Day and the Blue and Gold recognized its three members of the 2015 class Alyssa Peachey (Hummelstown, PA / Lower Dauphin), Kim Proenca (Thornton, PA / Cardinal O'Hara), and Meghan Swavely (Hummelstown, PA / Palmyra). Proenca and Swavely each swam season best times. Proenca finished fourth in the 50 Meter Freestyle with a time 32.32. Swavely finished with a time of 1:12.48 to place second in the 100 Meter Butterfly.
Sophomore Amber Castro (Alhambra, CA / Alhambra), as well as freshman Emily Angeline (Harrisburg, PA / Central Dauphin East) and Elizabeth Hainsworth (Glade Spring, VA / Patrick Henry) also swam season best times. Castro swam the 100 Meter Freestyle in 1:15.5. Angeline placed third overall in the 800 Mete Freestyle, swimming the event in 11:08.13. Hainsworth swam the 400 Meter Freestyle in 5:13.21.
Head Coach Nate Smith "For where our team is at, we swam very well today. It was our Senior Day. Some of the seniors had a strong day, swimming season best times. On top of that, we had underclassmen who continued to improve. We're looking forward to next week and seeing exactly where we're at with a little bit of rest."
The team will continue its season next Saturday at the Swarthmore Invitational. The meet time has yet to be determined.
