SHENANDOAH, TX - Four members of the Tufts women's swimming team were in action on Wednesday on the opening day of the 2013 NCAA Div. III Championships at Conroe Natatorium.
Competing in the trials, senior Christine Garvey (West Chester, PA) was in the first event of the meet. She swam 5:11.71 to place 36th in the 500-yard freestyle.
In the 50-yard freestyle later on, sophomore Samantha Sliwinski (Weymouth, MA) timed 24.40 seconds to swim 43rd overall.
That pair then joined teammates Lizzy Grainger (Nashville, TN) and Kathryn Coniglio for a 1:52.30 finish in the 200-yard medley relay to place 25th. The Jumbos lined-up Sliwinski in the backstroke, Grainger in the breaststroke, Garvey in the butterfly, and Coniglio in the freestyle.
Tufts did not qualify for the final in any of the three events.
Action continues through Saturday. The 200-yard freestyle relay will be contested on Thurday with Tufts as the #21 seed. Garvey will also line up in the 400-yard individual medley.
