The William & Mary swimming teams will hop the bus for a short trip to Norfolk, Va., on Saturday to take on Old Dominion in the regular season finale.  Action at Chandler Pool will begin at 10 a.m. for the men, with the women following at 2 p.m.  The meet is closed to spectators due to CoVID-19 regulations at ODU.

Originally founded as an extension of W&M in 1930, Old Dominion became an independent institution in 1962, but the ties between the schools remain deep.  Joseph "Scrap" Chandler was a baseball and track star at W&M before graduating in 1924, and was immediately hired as a coach for the Tribe upon graduation and coached cross country, track, and swimming.  In 1942, he moved down to the "Norfolk Division" as athletic director and coach, roles he continued until retiring in 1968.  Part of Chandler's legacy was a nationally-recognized community swimming program and recognition among college coaches as a national authority in coaching both track and swimming.  The pool at Old Dominion is named in his honor, and Chandler is in the Hall of Fame at both universities.

Scouting the Tribe Men
W&M is 2-1 on the year after beating Davidson, 137-124, last weekend in a virtual meet.  Senior Jake Kealy (Wilton, Conn.) had a meet-best two individual wins, taking the 200 free and the 100 fly both with lifetime-best performances.  For the year, Graham Hertweck (Greensboro, N.C.) leads the team with 49.75 points and three wins, while Kealy is one of four men who have won two races each.

Scouting the Tribe Women
On the women's side, W&M is 3-0 on the season after edging Davidson, 132-130, in a meet that came down to the final relay last weekend.  The Tribe also has wins over Richmond and George Mason.  Sophomore Anna Kenna (Chantilly, Va.) was named the CAA Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday, after having a hand in three dual-meet and pool records against the Wildcats, winning the 100 back, the 200 medley relay, and the 200 free relay.  Kenna also finished second in the 200 back, swimming a conference-best time of 2:02.32.  She leads the Tribe in scoring this season with 62.50 points and five wins, just ahead of sophomore Katie Stevenson (Wilton, Conn.) who also has five wins and 58.25 points.  In total, six women are averaging over 13 points per meet, including senior Megan Bull (Hillsborough, N.J.) who has broken W&M dual-meet records in both the 500 free and the 200 breast this season and leads the CAA in both events, as well as sophomore Annie Tuttle (Alexandria, Va.), a dual-meet record and conference-leading 1:03.31 in the 100 breast, and junior Missy Cundiff (Leesburg, Va.), undefeated in the 50 free this season and with three NCAA B-cut times lead by a 22.54.  Sophomore Maura Graff (Henrico, Va.) is the sixth swimmer with more than 40 points this year, and she leads the CAA in the 100 fly while also ranking top-four in the 200 IM and the 200 fly.
