Results From The Tri-Meet with No. 5 Michigan & Michigan State

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Rutgers women's swimming & diving squad was back in the pool on Saturday taking on No. 5 Michigan and Michigan State at Canham Natatorium.

Highlighting the day's action was a new PR from junior Jenna Douglass on the 1m and junior Kasja Dymek's runner-up performance in the 100 fly and third place result in the 100 free.

SWIMMING

Dymek competed in a trio of events. The junior who narrowly missed last year's Big Ten "C" finals in the 100 fly was the runner-up in the event on Saturday in 58.89. She also took third in the 100 free with a personal best 53.76 and claimed fourth in the 50 free in 24.75.
Classmate Yael Weber captured fourth in the 500 free (5:34.93) and fifth in the 200 free (5:34.93).
Fellow junior Katie Dougherty saw action in three events. She registered fourth in the 400 IM (4:39.82), fifth in the 200 fly (2:08.52) and sixth in the 200 breast (2:34.13).

DIVING

Douglass, who last weekend was a mere .05 points off her personal best on the 1m, managed to reset her career mark on Saturday. She scored a 274.80 besting her previous PR of 273.45 from the Frank Elm Invite in 2018.
On the 3m, the Scarlet Knights were led by a fourth place performance from Megan Demeo with a score of 254.35.

QUOTES

"Jenna demonstrated her consistency on one meter improving her qualifying score by almost 2 points which is so important with our new covid qualifying system. Both Jenna and Megan competed well and and showed technical improvement which is great to see with Big Tens only a month away. They are so happy to be competing again!" - head diving coach Frederick Woodruff
