Georgia Tech Women's Swimming and Diving Tops Georgia Southern and North Florida to Earn Program's First-Ever Wins

Oct. 27, 2001

ATLANTA – The Georgia Tech women’s swimming and diving program earned its first-ever victories Saturday, posting wins over Georgia Southern and North Florida in a triple dual meet at Emory’s Woodruff P.E. Center. The Yellow Jackets downed Georgia Southern by a score of 138-86 and toppled North Florida, 137-93.

Tech (2-1) won all 13 events contested, and five Jackets each posted a pair of wins. Freshman Moeko Wallis was victorious in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle. Classmate Michelle Maguire captured both the 500 and 1,000-yard free, while Lisa Hancock claimed wins in the 200-yard free and 200-yard butterfly.

Cara DeVinny won the 400-yard individual medley and finished first in the 200-yard breaststroke, which she swam as an exhibition. Freshman Amy Sutton won the three-meter diving event and was first in the 1-meter, which she dove as an exhibition.

Freshman Katie Duffy rounded out the individual wins for Tech with a victory in the 200-yard backstroke.

Tech also won the 400-yard medley relay and finished first in the 400-yard free relay, which was an exhibition for the Yellow Jackets.

“Any time you can win every event, it really shows the dedication and pride of your swimmers,” said head coach Seth Baron. “We have a lot of meets and lot of work ahead of us, but our team should be proud of the results today and the way they represented Georgia Tech.”

Georgia Tech returns to action on Friday, November 2, when it opens the ACC schedule by hosting Florida State at Emory at 6 p.m.. This meet will mark the opening of the season for Tech’s men’s squad.
