The Bard women's swimming team had four Raptors smash their previous personal bests in eight different events.
Senior Gaius Forsyth swam a personal best in the 500-yard freestyle and the 50-yard backstroke. Junior Martha Gomez, who joined the team this season, has been consistently breaking her personal best each time out in the 500-yard and 200-yard freestyle.
Sophomore Katelyn Campoverde set a personal best in two of her three events (the 100-yard backstroke and the 50-yard backstroke). First-year Zlata Paslon shaved three seconds off of her 100-yard freestyle best and one second off her 50-yard freestyle best. Junior Olivia Dower narrowly missed breaking her personal best in the 50-yard butterfly and 100-yard IM by a tenth of a second.
Bard will head to Ithaca on February 21 for a four-day Liberty League Championship.
