The 2016-17 season is about to take off for the NEWMAC Conference this weekend. MIT will face Springfield and Wellesley, and WPI will take on Babson, Smith and Wheaton. The Lyons will also compete in this week’s Swimming World Meet of the Week: Coast Guard vs. Wheaton. At last year’s dual, Coast Guard got the upper hand 156-144. They finished fourth at the NEWMAC Championships in 2016 with 607 points followed closely by fifth-place Wheaton with 588 points. MIT and Springfield have regularly dominated the NEWMAC Conference on the women’s side, but these two teams traditionally are fighting for the next top spots.
Coast Guard won both the 400 medley relay and the 200 free relay by about one tenth of a second at last year’s meet, which is what essentially sealed the deal. There will be very few changes to these relay line ups this year, and expect Wheaton’s Aleza Epstein and Coast Guard’s Addy Rutkoske to play major roles in the medley relay to start off the meet.
Epstein will then most likely take on Coast Guard’s Kristen Young in one or both of the sprint freestyle events. Last year, Epstein clipped the 50 while Young stole the 100. If either one of these women can win both these events, that would be a huge swim for their respective team. Jenna Hayden will also be in the mix, depending on where Coach Barrett Roberts decides to swim his women. Hayden (51.84), Young (52.85) and Epstein (53.01) placed third, fourth and fifth in the 100 free at last season’s NEWMAC Championships. These three women could also be competitive in the 100 back or 100 fly as well.
