SENIOR NIGHT
Prior to the meet, the Panthers celebrated Senior Night four four graduating seniors: Dom Philpot, Caroline Saalweachter, Hunter Tharpe and Jada Waller.
THE BASICS
Ferrum's women were led by Tharpe, who posted a pair of first-place performances in the 1000 freestyle and the 100 backstroke. Emilie Fairman was second in the 200 IM and third in the 100 breaststroke, and Laurynn Hackett was third in the 50 freestyle. On the men's side of the non-conference meet, Philpot posted a third-place finish in the 50 freestyle.
BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"This was our first meet of the new year and I was pleased with most of our performances. We made a few technical mistakes so we will make some adjustments before next week's meet at Randolph. It was the last home meet for our seniors and it was bittersweet to honor them on Senior Night." --Head Coach Margaret Bisnett
NEXT UP
Bisnett's team will be back in the water Saturday, January 22, at Hampden-Sydney College. The men will face off with the Tigers, while the Panther women hope to make a splash against Sweet Briar College, starting at 1:00 p.m. in Hampden-Sydney, Virginia.
