PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Lauren Hervatin and
Caitlin Henney each claimed first-place finishes Saturday to lead The Rock effort in a four-team meet hosted by Chatham University.
The Rock won one and lost two in the round-robin competition.
SRU waltzed past Wheeling Jesuit 204-2 (no misprint) but dropped 158-118 and 150-128 decisions to Chatham and Notre Dame (Ohio).
It must be pointed out, though, that both Chatham and Notre Dame scored nine points in a diving competition for which SRU did not have a competitor, so the scores are a little misleading.
Hervatin won the 500 freestyle event with a time of 5:40 and was third in the 50 freestyle with a 58.9 time.
Henney won the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:49.
Rock swimmers claimed five second-place finishes, led by two by
Heather Walbright (200 individual medley, 2:25; 200 frestyle, 2:05).
Kate Pietkiewicz was second in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 11:49,
Jessica Student was second in the 100 butterfly with a season-best time of 1:03.52 and
Beth Choike was second in the 100 backstroke (1:07.2).
Student also placed third in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:28.63.
The Rock's next competition will be the Indiana U. of Pa. Invitational, which starts Thursday and runs through Saturday
