Mount Union Results
Wittenberg Results

Kate Hunt The College of Wooster's swimming and diving season began in earnest this weekend, with the women's team sweeping a pair of closely-contested dual meets, 125-112 at the University of Mount Union Friday evening and 129-108 over arch-rival Wittenberg University Saturday afternoon, and the men dropping both ends by scores of 156-67 and 174-63, respectively.

Individually, Kate Hunt and Mariah McGovern shined for Wooster, as they each won three races over the weekend. Hunt was victorious in the 200 butterfly (2:16.85) at Mount Union and swept the sprint freestyles against Wittenberg with times of 25.41 in the 50 and 55.75 in the 100. McGovern took top honors in Friday's 100 (56.10), while also starring in the distance free, touching first in the 1000 (11:02.66) at Mount Union and in the 500 (5:21.40) during the Wittenberg meet.

Melissa Haug was a double winner, hitting the wall first in the 200 IM (2:16.96) against the Purple Raiders and then triumphing in the 100 fly (1:01.55) Saturday, while her twin sister, Priscilla Haug, notched first-place in the 200 backstroke (2:19.32) Friday evening.

Samira El-Adawy contributed in a big way to the victory over the Tigers, as she reached first in the 200 IM (2:16.36) as well as the 100 back (1:03.33), and Caroline Hanson rounded out the Scots' weekend winners with her top showing in the 200 breaststroke (2:36.64) at Mount Union.

The bright spot for the Wooster's men's team was Peter Parisi, who won two events Friday – the 200 IM (2:08.96) and the 200 fly (2:06.09) – and one Saturday – the 100 breast (1:02.08).

The Scots continue their dual schedule next Saturday with a home meet against Ohio Northern University at 1 p.m.
