Swimming and diving

Freshman Natalie Garre was named the NESCAC women’s swimming and diving performer of the week, after ending the Maine State Championships with two NCAA A-Cuts in the 500 freestyle (4:48.54), the 1650 freestyle (16:31.90) and three individual victories in the 400 IM, 200 free and 200 IM.

Two Midcoast high school swimmers were also named to the NESCAC weekly honor roll for their performances at the Maine State Championships, Brunswick’s Sarah Palmer and Morse’s Eliza Marco.

Palmer, a sophomore at Bates, won the 100 and 200 breaststroke, the latter of which tied a school record and made the NCAA B-Cut. Marco, a freshman at Colby, helped the Mules win their first state championship with six first-place finishes, four school records and two NCAA B-Cut performances.
