The College of Wooster swimmers and divers split their final dual meet of the 2007-08 campaign on Saturday, with the women nearly doubling-up Grove City College 196-100 and the men suffering a 43-point setback (171-128) to the host Wolverines.

Those results give both Fighting Scot teams matching 8-2 records, heading into the 24th annual North Coast Athletic Conference Championships Feb. 14-16.

Leading the Wooster women Saturday were double-winners Alice Case, Tamari Farquharson, and Julie Pinzur. Case swam to victories in the 200 freestyle (1:59.94) and the 100 butterfly (1:01.49), sandwiched around a runner-up showing in the 50 free (25.56). Farquharson paced her respective fields in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.21) and the 100 free (54.96), while the diving competition saw Pinzur sweep her way to titles on the one-meter (203.00) and three-meter (199.90).

The Scots added individual first-place finishes in five other events – Amanda Bailey in the 500 free (5:31.46), Meggie Edwards in the 100 backstroke (1:01.94), Syd Kelly in the 200 IM (2:20.55), Kristine Mann in the 200 fly (2:20.70), and May Tobar in the 200 back (2:16.26).

Wooster’s men’s squad featured a triple-winner in Eric Babbitt, but it still wasn’t enough to get past Grove City. Babbitt swept the butterfly races, taking the 100 in 52.26 and the 200 in 2:00.17, and prior to that, topped the 200 freestyle field with a time of 1:46.77. Fellow Scot standout Logan LaBerge was the top backstroker of the meet, winning both the 100 (54.49) and 200 (1:59.06).

Andrew Olsen and Ryan Radtke contributed individual victories as well, with Olsen doing so in the 100 breast (1:02.32) and Radtke in the 1000 free (10:15.10).

Over the next week-plus, the Wooster swimmers and divers will make one last push during practice to improve for the NCAC meet.
