‘Cats Swim to Event Wins at Queens
Davidson Swimmers picked up wins at Queens this weekend.
CHARLOTTE — Dylan Felt won two freestyle races to highlight Davidson’s swim season opener at Queens Saturday, as the Wildcats won four events.
“We saw bits of everything today,” said coach John Young. “Some great full races, some great half-races. Lots to work on, and lots of enthusiasm for the process. Queens is a deep squad, and I’m grateful that we had strong competition to measure ourselves against today.”
Felt swam in front in the 200 free (1:38.14) and the 500 free (4:36.06), helping the Wildcats sweep the 500 event. Ginny Thorsen won the women’s 500 in 5:14.48.
Davidson also had a 1-2 finish in the men’s 200 fly, as Fletcher Smith (1:52.83) and Robby Votta (1:53.83) touched first.
Queens won on the team front by a score of 180-82 in the men’s event and with a 188-74 result in the women’s.
Davidson’s divers were scheduled to host UNC Asheville in a separate event Saturday morning in Davidson, but the competition was canceled when UNC Asheville was unable to travel because of the effects of Hurricane Helene.
