The William & Mary women's swimming team continued to take care of business on Tuesday night at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships, winning four of seven events including both relays for the second night in a row.  The team scores at the end of the night are still pending certification due a challenge of the order of finish behind W&M in the 800 free relay, but the relative standings will be unaffected by the decision.  James Madison continues to lead the championships, while W&M is in second overall and Towson and Delaware are neck and neck in a fight for third.

200 Medley Relay
The Tribe started off the session where it left off on Monday night, winning the 200 medley relay in 1:40.58, tied for the fifth-fastest time in school history.  Junior Anna Kenna (Chantilly, Va.) led off with the fastest 50 back split of the night, and sophomore Annie Tuttle (Alexandria, Va.) added another best-of-race split in the 50 breast.  Freshman Corinne Davenport (Elon, N.C.) handled the 50 fly leg, and handed off to junior Missy Cundiff (Leesburg, Va.), who split 21.9 on the anchor to claim the title for the first time since 2016.  This is the sixth-straight year at the CAA Championships that the same school has swept the medley relays.

400 IM
In the 400 IM, senior Megan Bull (Hillsborough, N.J.) swam 4:21.56, the eighth-fastest race in school history, and took second overall.  Sophomores Kim Jogis (Larchmont, N.Y.) and Grace Tramack (Palo Alto, Calif.) finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in 4:26.16 and 4:26.27, while junior Rebecca Rogers (Richmond, Va.) won the consolation finals and finished ninth overall in 4:28.93.

100 Fly
Sophomore Maura Graff (Henrico, Va.) added 11 more team points with her eighth-place finish in the 100 fly, swimming 56.92 seconds.  In the consolation finals, the junior Cundiff won the heat and took ninth overall in 56.05 seconds, and senior Madeline High (Raleigh, N.C.) swam 56.65 seconds for 12th place and five more points.

200 Free
The 200 free saw sophomore Katie Stevenson (Wilton, Conn.) swim a lifetime-best 1:48.90 to take the silver medal.  Stevenson now ranks fifth all-time among Tribe athletes.  Her classmate Elizabeth Intihar (Columbus, Ohio) was right behind her in third with another lifetime-best, 1:49.43, improving to eighth in school history.  Senior Tara Tiernan (West Hartford, Conn.) was eighth overall, timing 1:51.77.

100 Breast
Starting in the 100 breast, W&M really began rolling taking the final three events.  The sophomore Tuttle defended her top seed from prelims, stopping the clock in 1:01.70 to win her first individual championship.  That was the second-fastest race in school history behind only Tuttle's school-record 1:01.61 in the prelims, and gave the Tribe its first championship in the 100 breast since Kelly Reitz '07 swept the breaststroke events in 2007.  Also in the 100 breast, sophomore Peyton Proffitt (Richmond, Va.) swam 1:06.22 for 12th overall and sophomore Brooke Lamoureux (Virginia Beach, Va.) was 14th overall with a time of 1:06.78.

100 Back
Just moments after Tuttle proved the value of being the number one seed, the junior Kenna proved that a gold medal can be won from any lane.  Seeded fifth after the prelims of the 100 back, Kenna blazed to a time of 54.77 seconds in the finals to win her first individual championship.  That was tied for the 13th-fastest race in school history, and was the first win in the 100 back for W&M since Sophie Rittenhouse '17 won back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2016.  This is also the first time ever that W&M has swept the 100 breast and 100 back at the same championships.  Behind Kenna, junior Ellie Henry (Southern Pines, N.C.) was 10th overall in 56.46 seconds, just edging out freshman Kat Vanbourgondien (Virginia Beach, Va.) who took 11th in 56.52 seconds.  Swimming in her second final of the night, the senior High was 16th overall, with a time of 59.47 seconds.

800 Free Relay
The final race was the 800 free relay, with W&M in the thick of the fight to keep winning.  Stevenson led the relay off in 1:50.56, and was just shortly behind James Madison at the first exchange.  Bull, the school record-holder in the 200 free, dove in next, but couldn't close the gap down, and Intihar was one second behind when she dove in for the third leg.  She took it out hard from the first, overtaking her opponent in the first 50, and kept going to swim 1:48.90 and flip the one-second deficit to a 3.8-second lead for the Tribe as Tiernan dove in on the anchor.  Tiernan also kept the field at arms-length, swimming a savvy race that only gave back a second en route to the victory in 7:20.93.  That was the ninth-fastest race in school history, and gave the Tribe the win in the 800 free relay in back-to-back seasons for the fist time.  W&M's four wins in four relays is also the first time since 1993 and 1994 that the same school has won the first four relays at the CAA Championships (James Madison swept all five relays each year).

The final day of the CAA Championships begins on Wednesday morning at 11:10 a.m., with prelims in the 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, and 200 fly.  The first of two heats of timed final 1,650 free is at 12:44 p.m., and the final heats of all five events as well as the 400 free relay will begin at 7:25 p.m.  Both sessions will be streamed live on CAA.TV.
