Towson, Md. – The UMBC women's swimming teams competed for the second time in five days as they made up a previously postponed meet at Towson University on Wednesday evening. Multiple swimmers posted season and lifetime bests during the meet.  

The divers competed at Towson on Tuesday afternoon.

Graduate student Caroline Sargent produced three of six second-place finishes by the Retrievers, while posting a school record in the 100-yard individual medley. Sargent completed the seldom-scheduled race in 58.88, besting the previous mark of 1:00.45, set by Laura Massicotte in 2018.

Sargent also finished second in the 50 and 100 yard backstroke events.

Senior Makayla Ludwick earned silver in the 500 yard freestyle, while junior Makaela Hill placed second in the 50-yard freestyle. Senior Sierra Tosten placed second in the 50-yard butterfly, posting a time of 25.07, just .12 seconds behind the victor.

"It was a great day of facing today, to follow our divers did on the boards yesterday," said Head Coach Matt Donovan. "It my time here, this might be our best dual meet yet. We recorded multiple season bests, a few lifetime bests and two team records (women's and men's 100 IM) went down. You can't ask for too much more.

"Our training is paying off and we are definitely on the right track to be ready for the championships next month."

UMBC will welcome George Mason to the UMBC Aquatic Complex on Saturday, Jan. 21. The meet gets underway at 1:00 p.m., but the Retrievers will honor their graduate students, fifth-year seniors and seniors competing in their final home meet at 12:40 p.m.
