RU Has Two First Place Finishes and Two Top-10 School Marks

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers swimming and diving competed against in-state foe and No. 25 ranked Princeton on Saturday morning in the sixth annual Battle for the Cannon Trophy. The Scarlet Knights had two new top-10 marks in program history and had 13 podium finishes overall with two first place finishes, six seconds and five third places.

Emilianna Gonzalez continues to excel in the 50-yard freestyle. The freshman swam a 22.90 to win the event, just off her previous mark of 22.83 earlier this year, which had been the sixth fastest time in school history.

Cameron Kuriger swam the 200-yard butterfly in 2:00.47. That was her fastest time as a Scarlet Knight and 10^th fastest in school history.

The No. 6 ranked diving squad excelled with four podium finishes, including placing first, second and third in the three-meter diving. Bailee Sturgill posted a personal best 337.73 on the 3-meter, which is eighth on the school's all-time top ten list. Sephora Ford placed second in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dive.

In the meet scoring, the Tigers had a 212.5-87.5 victory over the Scarlet Knights. Princeton has claimed the Cannon Trophy in the last five meets. RU last defeated Princeton in 2019.
