The Vanderbilt swim team closed out its first weekend at home Saturday afternoon at the Centennial Sportsplex. The Commodores finished 1-1; falling to San Diego State University, 121-113 and defeated the University of Arkansas-Little Rock 198-43.
“Overall I am very pleased with how we did this weekend,” said head coach Jeremy Organ. “We have a short week with our next meet this Thursday so we will try to get some good work in the first part of the week. I think looking at the team everyone did something we can build on so I feel really good about moving forward.”
The `Dores had impressive back-to-back first place finishes, with the first victory coming from sophomore Kathryn Coughlin in the 50-yard backstroke with a time of 29.95. Freshman, Breanna Sapienza, followed Coughlin in the 100-yard fly swimming a time of 55.73.
The Commodores also had an impressive swim in the 1650-yard free, with sophomore Kathrn Babbin winning second with a time of 17:34.49 in the longest event of the weekend.
