Pentathlon

On Oct. 5th the girls participated in the annual pentathlon, which is the orange vs. brown meet held at Cooper pool. The pentathlon consists of 5 events that everyone takes part in, a 100 of each stroke and a 200 I.M. Despite widespread sickness among the team, the girls did an awesome job at this opportunity to get up and race. Senior and team captain Meg Richardson broke the pentathlon record in the 100 free with a time of 52.84. Also breaking the record in the event and finishing second was freshman Emily Bennet with a time of 53.25. The freshman class also had a very strong showing in the 100 backstroke, with all top three finishes going to their class. Emily Bennet finished first with 1:00.41, Jamie Akenberger came in second with 1:00.71, and Alexa Harris finished third with 1:01.63. Overall the brown team was victorious. Nice job ladies!

Next up for the Falcons is the Tom Stubbs Relay Meet on Friday, Oct 16th. Go Falcons!
