Elsah, ILL. –Friday night, the Principia College Women's Swimming Team competed against Hendrix College and Williams Baptist University in a sprint double dual meet. During this meet the women were able to swim the short order of events, which is usually a faster paced and fun meet. This meet allowed for the team to rev their engines and get the experience of a back-to-back meet before the Liberal Arts Championship Meet. The women lost to Hendrix (28-153) and Williams Baptist University (56-83); however, the women's events were a ton of fun and showed progress.
Throughout the meet there were a few bests that were swum. Starting with sophomore
Glynnis Harley, she achieved a season best in her 100 IM with a time of 1:15.95. Freshman
Elizabeth Hull also achieved bests today. She achieved two season bests in her 50 Free (40.55) and 50 Back (50.40). Lastly,

The night ended with high-fives and some pizza for the team. The team will be back in action tomorrow, Saturday, January 27
