Women's Swimming Drops Tri-Meet to Cornell, Princeton

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The University of Pennsylvania women's swimming and diving team took 11 top three finishes but suffered a team loss in Saturday's tri-meet with Cornell (161-139) and Princeton (202-98).  
 
The Quakers started strong; a team of Hannah Kannan, Rachel Maizes, Monika Burzynska, and Wendy Yang took second place in the 200 Medley Relay, clocking in at 1:46.29.  
 
Penn followed up on that event with a 1-2-3 finish in the 1,000 free. Catherine Buroker posted the fastest time (10:27.78), while Erin Kiely (10:32.22) and Kaitlin Stearns (10:37.69) took second and third.  
 
The Quakers took their second victory on the day as Joanne Fu shaved 0.86 seconds off her season best, taking first place in the 200 fly (2:05.00). Anna Newman finished behind in third place (2:07.95), while Andie Meyers finished just behind in fourth (2:08.19).  
 
Tara Larusso took a couple seconds off her season-best time as she finished third in the 200 free (1:55.07). Wendy Yang also improved on her season best with a third-place finish in the 50 free (24.13).  
 
Other notable finishes for the Quakers include second-place finishes by Serena Xue in the 200 back (2:22.52) and Buroker in the 500 free (5:06.47), and a third-place finish by Burzynska in the 100 fly (56.73).  

Penn returns to action as the Quakers travel to Knoxville for the Tennessee Invitational on November 29th.
