Gina Lynch,
Olivia Crisafulli and Liz Duncan.
Â
Lynch posted an individual win as well, capturing the 200 IM race.
Â
Other winners for the Tigers included
Emma Phillips (1000 freestyle),
Megan Simonson (50 freestyle),
Grace Ersfeld-O'Brien (100 freestyle),
Peyton Wright (500 freestyle) and
Emma Krasemann (3-meter diving).
"It was a good day for the Big Cats," head coach
Anne Goodman James said. "We weren't sure what to expect with several people out with the flu, and some just coming back from that, and yet we really stepped up all through the meet. It was impressive to watch
Emma Phillips take control of the 1000 free in the back half of the race.
Gina Lynch was impressive today taking two wins and a second. I was thrilled to see a real break through for
Riley Hester in the 100 fly today. She has been working on making some stroke changes, and it really paid off today."

Colorado College is back in action on Tuesday, Dec. 13, against SCAC-foe Austin College at Schlessman Natatorium, beginning at 5 pm.
