Bantam Men and Women End Regular Season Wins Against Roger Williams


The Trinity College Bantam women's swimming and diving team took first place in every event but two in a 189-105 win over the visiting Roger Williams University Hawks.  With the win they close the 2011-12 with a 4-5 record.
Junior Shelby Friel won four events for the Bantams, taking first in the 50-yard backstroke, the 50-yard butterfly, the 100-yard freestyle, and swimming a leg of the 400-yard medley relay.  Trinity senior captain Jenna Carroll earned victories in the 1,000-yard freestyle (11:25.06) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:33.05), while rookie Alexandra Moroney posted first-place finishes in the 50-yard freestyle and the 200-yard freestyle. 
Sophomore Emily Johnson took a pair of firsts for the Bantams, handily winning both the one- and three-meter diving events.  Johnson's one-meter score of 290.69 both the pool and College-records, moving past her own Trinity mark of 269.76, and qualified her for the NCAA Division III Championships in March.  Bantam sophomore Megan Chiu broke the pool record in the 100-yard individual medley with a time of 1:03.36, although the exhibition event was not part of the team scoring.
Sophomore Max Ma won three events and was part of the winning 400-meter freestyle relay, as Trinity College Bantams defeated the visiting Roger Williams Hawks 156.5-131.5 in men's swimming and diving action this afternoon.  Trinity finishes the dual-meet season with a 2-6-1 record.


Ma won the 50-yard breaststroke, the 50-yard freestyle, the 200-yard breaststroke, as well competing with the winning 400-yard freestyle relay for Trinity. Senior Adam Eramo was also a member of the winning 400-meter freestyle relay, and earned individual victories in the 1,000-yard and 500-yard freestyle races.  Sophomore Mark Yanagisawa was the third Bantam two earn multiple victories with wins in the 200-yard butterfly (2:01.79) and the 400-yard IM (4:28.78).
