New Rochelle, NY – Junior transfer
Adrianna Warning (Henderson, NV / Coronado / Indian River State College) set a new school record in the 3-meter diving event with a score of 256.50 points, as the Wagner College swimming and diving team swept the competition for its first three victories of the season at the Iona Quad meet.
The Seahawks swam past the host, Iona College, by a score of 162.00-74.00, while beating fellow Northeast Conference (NEC) schools St. Francis Brooklyn 159.00-68.00 and Sacred Heart 145.00-89.00.
Wagner dominated both diving events, as Warning won the 1-meter competition with 231.05 points ahead of seniors
Sam Lavrich (Audubon, PA / Methacton) and
Grace Solipaca (Philadelphia, PA / Bishop Eustace). The junior then set the Seahawk school record on the 3-meter board, beating the previous mark set by Erica Curry (254.40) in 2016 by 2.10 points in also setting a new meet record in the process. Lavrich and Solipaca once again finished second and third, completing a Green and White sweep on the boards.
"I'm very happy for Adrianna and proud of her accomplishment as well as our overall performance as a team," said diving coach
Samantha Russo. "Adrianna showed great potential coming in this fall and displayed what she is capable of on the boards today. As a team, I'm proud of the way we competed and came away with positive results in both events."
