Oberlin Sweeps John Carroll

The Yeoswimmers and Yeodivers emerged victorious on senior night in the team's final home meet of the season. The team had solid performances across the board as they sent the seniors out on a high note.

"We had phenominal performances out of our team this evening. Our swimmers were posting season best times throughout the meet," said Head Coach Mark Fino.

"Our senior class has helped our program grow and improve each year. I am very proud of this group. Even though I am sad to see them go this spring, I am excited to see what they do down the road. They are very determined and driven young men and women. I can not thank them enough for what they have done for the program.

Leading the way for the Yeowomen was senior Jenny Meltz. She won the 1000-yard freestyle (11:18.30) and 500-yard freestyle (5:37.92). Fellow classmates Christine Martin and Jordan Jancosek also tallied up victories. Jancosek won the 50-yard freestyle (26.08) and Matin took first place on both one-meter and three-meter diving.

The Yeomen started out the meet strong in winning the 400-yard medley relay. Dylan Jordan, Mike Sabatka, Corey Spiro and Nick Lashway teamed up to post a time of 3:44.04.

Three members of the relay went on to win one individual in their stroke of expertise throughout the meet. Spiro went on to win the 200-yard butterfly (2:02.65) while Jordan won the 200-yard backstroke (2:00.69) and Sabatka won the 200-yard breastroke (2:19.61).
