ATHENS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University swimming and diving team completed the first of four days at the 2024 Mid-American Conference Championships, hosted by Ohio University at the OU Aquatic Center. After day one, Eastern sits in sixth place with 52 points.
How it Happened
Day one included just two relay events, the 200y medley relay, and the 800y freestyle relay.
The EMU all-freshmen team of Siporah Sang (London, Ontario/Sir Frederick Banting Secondary), Nina Larosa (Bay Village, Ohio/Bay), Tristen Mina (Santa Clara, Calif./The King's Academy), and Lucy Noble (Flagler Beach, Fla./Flagler Palm Coast) swam the Eagles' fastest time of the season in the event, finishing in 1:40.44 for a sixth-place outing, scoring 26 points for the Green and White.
The 800y freestyle relay also saw the Eagles place sixth. Ali Kudo (Guelph, Ontario/John F. Ross Collegiate Vocational), Emma Littrell (Taylor Mill, Ky./St. Henry District), Noble, and Kiersten Russell (Clinton, Mich./Saline) swam the distance in 7:24.96, capturing another 26 points.
The Eagles' 7:24.96 in the event marks a season-fastest by nearly 13 seconds as they swam their previous season-fastest time at the Denison Invitational, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, 2023.
