Meet Results

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. – The State University of New York at New Paltz women's swimming team moved to 6-0 overall on Friday afternoon, as the Hawks topped visiting SUNY Cortland (3-4), 148-111, at Elting Pool. New Paltz posted the top time in 12 of the 14 events contested at the meet.

Senior Yuka Suzuka (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown) led the way with three individual event victories. She touched first in the 100 backstroke (1:00.03), the 200 backstroke (2:13.61) and the 200 individual medley (2:15.71), but her individual medley swim was marked as exhibition, meaning that Cortland scored the first-place points in the event.

Senior Carly Marshall (Cornwall, N.Y./Cornwall Central) had a memorable afternoon, as she bettered the Elting Pool 100 butterfly record with her first-place finish. Her time of 59.45 bettered the former record of 1:00.65 set by Jennifer Anthone of SUNY Geneseo in 2009. Marshall also triumphed in the 200 butterfly, as she went a 2:14.37.

Senior Anna Jakubek (Harriman, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) boasted a first-place finish, too, touching the wall first in the 200 breaststroke (2:37.14).

New Paltz had the fastest time in both relay events.
