Scouting the Tribe
W&M started the year 2-0 two weeks ago, sweeping Georgetown and Johns Hopkins on the road. The Tribe had a number of strong performances, led by sophomore
Katie Sell (Fredericksburg, Va.) who was named the CAA Swimmer of the Week for going a perfect 8-0 in her four events (two relay, two individual). Sell's day included pool records in both the 200 medley relay, and the 100 free.
Also swimming very well on the day was classmate
Maria Oceguera (New Rochelle, N.Y.), who won three of her four individual races including a sweep of the 200 fly, as well as senior
Jaimie Miller (Houston, Texas) and junior
Annie Valls (Miami, Fla.), who both swept their feature events (the 50 free and 100 breast, respectively) while also swimming on the 200 medley relay. Miller also swam as part of the winning 400 free relay.
