CHARLOTTE — Davidson swimmers won seven events, including three by Shelby Stanley, to highlight Saturday's season-opening meet at Queens.
Stanley, who has secured the last two Atlantic 10 Performer of the Year honors, won the three individual events for which she holds the school record. She swam out front in the 100 fly (57.05), the 200 fly (2:07.40) and 200 IM (2:09.32).
Saturday was also largely about gauging where the Wildcats are as they embark on a season that will culminate in February.
"We put forth great efforts today," said coach John Young. "I appreciate a talented Queens team hosting us and offering impressive races against which we can measure ourselves. The 'Cats had some great performances and some spots where we can use some work, but overall we learned a lot and have reasons for optimism."
Wildcats Kate Pottle (500 free, 5:05.54) and Cynthia Huang (200 back, 2:07.53) added wins for the Davidson women.
For the Wildcat men, Dylan Felt was a two-event winner, taking first in the 500 free (4:32.18) and 1,000 free (9:28.47).
"On both sides, it was great to see the first-years swim well," said Young. "Dylan and Cynthia grabbing event wins and posting fast times was awesome. Of course, it's great to see some of our veterans pick up where they left off. I thought the swim of the meet was Kate Pottle's 500 — I hope she had as much fun swimming it as I had watching it."
Up Next
The Wildcats will compete at the Richmond Duals Oct. 21-22.
