RESULTS - DAY TWO

Boston, MA - The Wagner women's swimming & diving team dominated day two of the 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) Swimming & Diving Championships, finishing the day in first-place out of the seven-team field, while also adding two individual swimming event championship titles to their fast-growing collection.

Additionally, Wagner has now set five school records in six events finals, breaking three of said records today.

During morning prelims, freshman Grace Baird earned the school record in the 500-yard freestyle event, cruising in with a blistering 4:56.64, before fellow freshman Anu Nihipali tore down the school record in the 200-yard individual medley event, clocking in with a 2:05.55.

Baird captured the top spot in the finals of the 500-yard freestyle event, earning herself the title of NEC champion, and Wagner their first conference gold in an individual event. Baird also re-broke her own school record, posting a fierce time of 4:55.34. Following Baird's gold-medal performance in that event were Amanda Lucia, who earned silver, Maggie Shaw, who took sixth, and Alexandra Cooney, who rounded out the Seahawks with an eighth-place finish.

Nihipali was the second Seahawk of the night to be crowned an NEC champion, taking the 200-yard individual event in incredible fashion, annihilating her own school record with a final time of 2:02.78. Kara Lacoste took the bronze in the event, while Meredith Ketchmark finished in fourth-place.

Sarah Menendez took home the bronze in the 50-yard freestyle final, while teammate Samantha Sides earned fourth.

Immediately following the 50-yard freestyle event, divers Erica Curry and Mallory Lee produced impressive performances in the one-meter board final, having faced quite a bit of adversity earlier in the day. With both divers slated in the latter-half of the diving standings after prelims, the pair's determination carried them to top-five finishes, with Curry earning bronze in the event, and Lee earning fourth.

In the final event of day two, the 200-yard freestyle relay, Wagner rallied to take silver behind the team of Menendez, Corinne Rondina, Sides, and Ketchmark.
