RICHMOND, Va. – Both the Davidson men's and women's swimming and diving teams competed this weekend at the Greater Richmond Aquatic Partnership.

The women competed in the Richmond Duals, facing Duquesne Friday evening and George Mason Saturday, while the men swam against George Mason both days.

WOMEN
Seniors Elizabeth Weldon and Sarah Coats each had successful performances on the women's side. Weldon took first overall in the 1650 free (17:41.71) and third overall (second in dual) in the 500 (5:16.11) on Friday. On Saturday, Coats tied for the top spot in the 100 breast (1:05.74), and finished third overall in the event on Friday.

Sophomore Isabella McElrath recorded two third-place finishes on Friday - taking second in the dual in both - the 200 fly (2:08.22) and 200 breast (2:23.88). Classmate Alexis LeMone took second in the duals both Friday and Saturday, in the 100 back (59.73) and 200 back (2:13.18), respectively.

Coats and McElrath teamed up with junior Anabelle Durham and freshman Anna Linzell to take third overall in the 200 medley relay Friday, while LeMone, Coats, McElrath, and Linzell combined for a third overall in the 400 medley relay. The quartet of junior Lauren Crane, LeMone, Weldon, and freshman Sarah Helen Shepherd also finished third overall in the 400 free relay.
