Chelsea Carlson, Becca Smith, Jenny Yeager, and Emily Bertram swam a 1:49.57, one of the top six times in Section IV this season. It broke the mark of 1:50.20 set in 2009. “Last year, we loaded up our relay in the last meet, and went 1:50.21 – one hundredth of a second off of the record,” said Greene coach Mike Platta. “We didn’t want that to happen again. We were close to breaking the record in our last meet, so we put that same team back together, and they did so well.”

Greene won 10 of 12 events to move one win from the .500 mark. Bertram, Yeager, Carlson, and Smith had mulitiple wins on the day. Julia Arboit took the 50 freestyle, and Payton Cutting was a winner in the 100 breaststroke.
