Class of 2022 will graduate 30-3 in dual meets
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Bucknell women's swimming & diving team toppled Lehigh, 199-101, on Saturday at Jacobs Pool.
With their rivalry triumph over the Mountain Hawks (4-2, 2-1 PL), the Bison wrapped up their 2021-22 dual meet schedule with an impressive 9-1 (7-1 PL) record. The class of 2022—Lindsey Bloom, Alexis Faria, Maddie Hartigan, Meagan Hathaway, Caroline Mayk, Isabella Smith and Meghan Taner—will now graduate having gone a remarkable 30-3 (23-3 PL) in dual meets, their only losses coming to defending Patriot League champion Navy.
Doss swept the breaststroke races and added a win in the 200 IM. Hartigan outraced the field in the 200 and 500 freestyle while Hunter took first in both backstroke races.
Meghan Catherwood (3-meter dive), Faria (100 butterfly) and Sabrina Vumbacco (1,000 freestyle) rounded out the Bison's individual victors. Faria (200 medley) and Vumbacco (400 freestyle) each competed on a first-place relay squad while Kayla Lichtner swam the third leg on each.
In addition to winning the 3-meter dive, Catherwood's score of 258.15 in the 1-meter dive was the sixth best in school history. Last week against Loyola, she cracked the program's top 10 in the 3-meter dive (10th, 256.72).
