The William and Mary women's swimming team wrapped up its season on a high note Saturday night, taking fourth place at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships with 476.5 points.  The Tribe set 10 school records, eight freshman records, and earned six NCAA qualifying times over the three days of the championships.  The team title was won by James Madison with 771 points.

1650 Free
The finals began with the 1650 freestyle, where junior Caylyn Tate (Sterling, Va.) demolished her own school record with a time of 16:38.27 for second place.  Tate also broke the school record at 1,000 yards en route, rounding the turn at 10:03.24.  Sophomore Jen Bentley (Jamestown, N.Y.) also scored for the team, placing 15th in 17:10.41.

In the 200 back senior Hailey Hewitt (Fairfax, Va.) won gold to match the medal she earned as a freshman, coming from behind in the final 25 yards to claim the win in 1:58.22.  Hewitt was third at the final turn, and just kept accelerating through the pad in breaking the school record she set in the prelims.  Freshman Liz Glenn (Greenwood Village, Colo.) joined her on the medal stand, taking third in 1:58.60 to break the freshman record once again.  Both women came in under the NCAA provisional qualifying standard.
