Coach's Remarks
"{I'm} really proud of the girls tonight. Top-to-bottom, we had some great performances. I like the progress the team has made since the Denison Invitational. We look strong and continue to improve. {I'm} looking forward to the end of the year," said Head Swim Coach Derek Perkins.

How it Happened
The Eagles were led by Abby Szadorski (Oswego, Ill./Oswego East), Katarina Pastar (Vienna, Austria/Gymnasium am Augarten) and Ali Kudo (Guelph, Ontario/John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational), as each earned multiple first-place finishes.

Szadorski took the top spot in both the 100-yard and 200y breaststroke, swimming the distance in 1:04.08 and 2:20.02 while Pastar captured gold in the 100y and 200y butterfly, completing the 100y race in 56.88 and the 200y in a personal-best 2:05.04. Kudo secured event-wins in the 200y freestyle and 500y freestyle, winning the 200y in 1:52.40 and the 500y in 4:58.84.

To end the meet, Lucy Noble (Flagler Beach, Fla./Flagler Palm Coast), Marlee Christie (Seminole, Fla./Seminole), Emma Littrell (Taylor Mill, Ky./St. Henry District), and Kudo snatched first-place in the 400y freestyle relay in 3:30.02.

On the boards, Eastern's divers proved hard to beat as the Green and White swept the 3m dive with Rebekah Knapp (Mesa, Ariz./Skyline), Camryn Hughes (London, Ontario/Sir Frederick Banting Secondary), Malia Maire (San Luis Obispo, Calif./San Luis Obispo), and Ciara Wheeler (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) taking the first four spots in the event.
