MILLS SET NEW VARSITY RECORD
IN 50 BACK IN FIRST RACE
The Ravens varsity swim team kicked off their dual
season at home versus the Ottawa U Gee-Gee’s today, with the men’s team
swimming to victory and the women’s team putting up a good fight despite being
outnumbered more than 2:1. The Raven’s men were able to use home field
advantage to the fullest, nearly doubling up on the Gee-Gee’s in a total points
score of 244-139. The women hung in
tough against superior numbers to score 119 points versus Ottawa’s 174.
Individual standouts included Keegan Harris and Krista Boegel, both just a
fraction of a second away form qualifying for the national championships in the
breaststroke events, men’s team captain Trevor McLoughlin with two new best times,
and rookie John Mills with a new Carleton varsity record in the 50m backstroke.
The Ravens look to build off this momentum when they travel to Guelph,
Waterloo, and North York later this month.
