Meet Results

ONEONTA, N.Y. – Both senior Christine Rieth (Penfield, N.Y./Webster Schroeder) and sophomore Chelsea Allocco (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) were double individual-event winners, leading the State University of New York at New Paltz women's swimming team (2-1) to a 115-90 victory over SUNY Oneonta (1-1) on Friday afternoon at G. Hal Chase Gymnasium Pool.

Rieth set pool records in each of her events, posting first-place times in both the 50 freestyle (24.79) and the 100 freestyle (54.11). She also swam the anchor leg on the event-winning 400 medley relay, which set a pool record with a time of 4:11.59. In that relay, Rieth partnered with junior Yuka Suzuka (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown), Allocco and senior Amanda Cloer (Stony Point, N.Y./North Rockland).

Allocco also won each of her individual events during the meet, touching first in the 400 individual medley (4:47.14) before taking the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:34.02.

Suzuka established a pool record of her own in the 200 backstroke. She won by nearly 10 seconds, stopping the clock at 2:12.57. Junior Carly Marshall (Cornwall, N.Y./Cornwall Central) offered up a strong performance in the 200 butterfly, pacing the field with an event-winning 2:18.90.
