GETTYSBURG, PA – The Bryn Mawr swim team was back in action on Saturday for the second and final day of the Gettysburg Invitational, and it was once again a strong showing from the Owls amongst a highly competitive field of five other institutions from around the region as multiple Owls stamped their names in the Bryn Mawr Top-10 record book.

Morning Session Highlights:
  • The Owls opened the morning session by finishing ninth in the 200 yard medley relay. The quartet of Shelby Jackson, Maddie Sullivan, Jane Farrell, and Ellie Berry finished in 1:53.46 for the fifth fastest time in program history.
  • The first individual event of the day was the 400 yard individual medley, where Ella Cohn (4:57.81) stamped her name in the record books with the ninth fastest time in program history. Felicia Pursner (5:09.54) and Lexi Mireider (5:36.01) each recorded a personal record (PR) in the event.
  • Farrell's hot streak continued in the 100 butterfly with a fifth place finish. The junior's time of 58:80 was a PR and moved her up in the Top-10 fastest times in school history for a second place tie with Rebecca Craig from 2016.
  • Senior Sullivan also recorded a PR in the 100 yard breaststroke. Similar to Farrell, Sullivan's time of 1:10.09 moved her up in the Top-10 fastest times in program history for the fourth fastest time.

  • Bryn Mawr rounded out the morning session in the 800 yard freestyle relay. The quartets of Cohn, Farrell, Berry, and Jackson placed fifth with a time of 8:19.42, while Mina Rothberg, Sullivan, Pursner, and Samantha Ings recorded a time of 8:45.60. Both of their times earned them a spot in the Top-10 fastest times in program history.
