Swimming's Nave, 200 Medley Relay Team Take Home NEWMAC Weekly Honors

WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Wellesley College senior Keelin Nave has been named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Swimmer of the Week for the period ending November 16th. 

In addition, Wellesley's 200-Yard Medley Relay team of Nave and sophomores Sharon Wu and Hannah Augst, and first-year Sophia Dillon-Davidson have been named the NEWMAC Women's Relay Team of the Week. 

Nave, Wu, August and Dillon-Davidson raced to a tightly contested victory in the 200-Medley Relay in the opening event of Wellesley's 171-91 win over previously undefeated Simmons. Nave anchored the team as the Blue finished with a time of 1:55.03, just ahead of the Sharks' team at 1:55.45.

Nave then followed up the relay win by grabbing victories in the 200-Free with a time of 1:56.29, the 50-Free, with a time of 25.27, and the 100-Fly with a time of 59.86. In the 200-Free, she finished as the only participant with a time under 2:00 and in the 100-Fly she was the only participant with a time under one minute.

Nave, Wu, Augst, Dillon-Davidson and the rest of the Wellesley swimming and diving team will be back in action on Friday night when they take on MIT at 7:00 PM in Cambridge.
