MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – The Wheaton College (Mass.) women's 200-yard freestyle relay team of senior Anna St. Jean (Alexandria, Va.), first year Lauren Holmes (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and sophomores Lauren Bullins (Lenexa, Kan.) and Amani Sodhi (Farmingdale, N.Y.) was named the New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference Women's Swimming Relay of the Week for the week of October 19-25, it was announced by the NEWMAC.
St. Jean was also honored as the Swimmer of the Week to join sophomore Ella Kent (Framingham, Mass.), who was tabbed the NEWMAC Women's Diver of the Week to give the Lyons their first sweep of the weekly awards since November 14, 2022 when Reese Hartmann '25 was named Swimmer of the Week and was selected with Madeline Eller '23, Katie Walz '25 and Hope Campbell 23 for the 200-yard medley relay as the Relay of the Week in addition to Morgen Coughlin-Doyle '25 being chosen the Diver of the Week.
St. Jean posted a split time of 25.13 to give Wheaton an early lead over visiting Bentley University on October 23, but the Falcons owned a slight edge following the third leg. Sodhi's final 50 yards gave the Lyons the edge, where she outswam her Bentley counterpart by almost three tenths of a second to give Wheaton the win with a combined time of 1:42.52.
The Lyons are currently 0-1 on the season and return to the pool on Friday, October 30 when they travel to Wellesley, Mass. to take on Wellesley College at 5:00 p.m.
