HAMPTON, Va. — Setting the all-time CAA record for team points, the William & Mary women's swimming team dominated en route to winning the CAA Championship on Saturday evening at the Hampton Aquaplex.

The Tribe earned a combined 12 medals for the day, bringing their total medal count to 32. Seven of those were gold medals. W&M broke a pair of school records on day four of the championship, highlighted by an all-time CAA record in the women's 400 freestyle relay between Flynn Truskett, Ellie Hunt, Haley Lehman, and Caroline Burgeson.

The women's team accumulated 1,647 points, smashing the previous highwater mark of 1,409. Tribe head coach Nate Kellogg was named the CAA Women's Swimming Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.

Julie Addison won gold in the women's 200 backstroke, finishing in 1:56.35 which was good for No. 2 all-time. She became the first Tribe women's swimmer to win the event since 2016.
