About the Wildcats
Seniors Lindsey Martin and Emily Castle were individual and relay event winners as the Wildcat women's swimming and diving team concluded its winter training trip with a dual meet against Miami University. Martin was the Wildcats' top finisher, winning a pair of events — the 50 and the 100 free, and anchoring Davidson's winning 200 freestyle relay. Castle was also an individual event winner, winning the 100 fly and swimming the leadoff leg of the winning 200 freestyle relay.
To end the year and the first part of the season, sophomore Drew Onken and Martin swept the CCSA Men's and Women's Swimmer of the Week honors behind their performances at the Kenyon Total Performance Invitational. Onken posted four season-best times in five events, including a CCSA-best time of 1:52.47 in the 200 IM and a lifetime-best 57.52 in the 100 breaststroke. Onken also swam the breaststroke leg of Davidson's 200 and 400 medley relays, which clocked CCSA-best times of 1:33.94 and 3:27.23, respectively, and led off the Wildcats' 400 freestyle relay (3:05.72) with a time of 46.94, the conference's third-best 100 freestyle time this season.
Martin won three individual titles, set a school, pool and CCSA record, swam two NCAA B-cut times and anchored a pair of winning relays for the Wildcats. She kicked off her weekend by winning the 50 free with an NCAA B-cut, CCSA season-best time of 22.98, and won the 200 freestyle with a season-best time of 1:49.89 the following day. Martin closed out the invitational by breaking her own CCSA record in the 100 free with a NCCA B-cut time of 49.54.

State (Jan. 15) remains on their schedule, which concludes with a home meet against Darton on January 29.
The Yellow Jackets are coming off a two-meet Florida trip. Both the men's and women's Yellow Jacket squads defeated UNC-Wilmington but lost to Florida State in the tri-meet. Travis Wagner won the 200 free with a time of 1:42.06, and Brandon Makinson scored 350.40 in 1-meter diving to secure first place at the meet. The Yellow Jacket women earned the top three spots in the 100 fly, with times of 57.85 by Vida Jemec and Christine Chuang, and 58.86 by Keren Siebner.
