First Year Logan Todhunter named NESCAC Swimmer of the Week

Logan Todhunter '12

First year swimmer Logan Todhunter (Ithaca, NY) was unable to participate in the Ephs first swim meet of the year at Connecticut College due to injury, but she sure stirred up the home crowd with her collegiate debut last Saturday.

In her first appearance for Williams College Todhunter impressed with two wins and two school records as Division III Williams defeated Division I Boston College (176.5–123.5) and Division I Fordham University (152-147) to improve to 3-0 on the year.

Todhunter posted first place finishes and school records in the 200-yard butterfly and the 100-yard butterfly. Todhunter's record time of 2:02.77 in the 200 was almost two full seconds faster than the previous Williams best of 2:04.64 set last winter by Chrissy Haley (2:02.77). In the 100 butterfly Todhunter was timed in 56.05, which was 7/10 of a second faster than Zibby Stokes' 56.75 in 2000.

She also swam the butterfly leg on the 200-yard IM relay won by the Ephs in 147.41. For her stellar performance Todhunter was accorded NESCAC Swimmer of the week honors.
