The Bantams had very strong day one at the 2012 NESCAC Championship at Wesleyan University. Freshmen, Audrey Butler led the way with a new First Year and School Record time in the 50 Breast of 30.13. She finished 4th in finals and her time broke the previous record of 31.34 set by Sarah Sweatt in 2007 by over a second. Junior, Shelby Friel established a new mark in the 50 Back with a time of 28.92, bettering the previous record of 28.99 set in 2005 by Kate Mortensen. Emily Johnson broke her own record on the 1-Meter set last year with a score of 397.98 and finished 7th in finals. The fourth record of the day belonged to the women's 200 Free Relay consisting of Emily Jensen, Carleigh Haron, Sara Mullen, and Megan Chiu. Their time of 1:39.76 broke the oldest record on the Trinity board of 1:39.79 set in 1983 by Dea Frederick, Barbara Brennan, Lulu Cass, and Karen Hubbard. Congrats to all our new record holders!
