The College of Wooster swimming and diving team swept its second consecutive meet to open the season, besting Heidelberg University in non-conference action inside the Tiffin YMCA. The men's team won by a 204-37 margin while the women outscored the Student Princes 194-60.
 
Perhaps the most impressive performance of the afternoon came from first-year Hayden Price. The newcomer collected a trio of individual event wins, starting with the 200 butterfly (2:02.10), then backed it up with victories in the 200 backstroke (1:58.22) and the 200 individual medley (2:03.12). Additionally, Price led off the winning 200 medley relay team alongside senior Boston Sullivan, senior Will Laymon, and senior Callum Glover who combined for a time of 1:36.78.
 
Sullivan had a standout day as one of the Fighting Scots' other multi-event winners. The senior turned in an early-season collegiate-best of 1:49.47 to win the 200 freestyle and also added the 200 breaststroke in 2:16.89. Glover was the other multi-event winner, collecting the 50 freestyle in 22.42 and the 100 butterfly in 53.75.
 
Wooster's women were led by senior Emma Humbert and first-year Reese Lucas, as each notched two event victories. The veteran touched first in the 1,000 freestyle in a time of 11:19.25 and then out-touched the competition in the 200 individual medley in 2:19.92. Lucas raced out to the 200 freestyle win in 2:07.48 along with the 200 backstroke in 2:23.19. Like her first-year teammate on the men's side, Lucas also led off the Scots' winning 200 medley relay (1:57.85), with sophomore Maggie Layne, sophomore Elizabeth Theobald, and senior Keara Wiley comprising the rest of the winning group.
 
Layne and Theobald also translated their relay success to their individual events. Layne won the 100 breaststroke in 1:12.97. Theobald took the 100 butterfly in 1:03.08.
 
Wooster made it a clean sweep in the freestyle distance events, thanks to senior Will Laubacher, junior Philipp Drappatz, and junior Rachel Frank. Laubacher swam his way to 10:37.52 in the 1,000 freestyle, Drappatz went 5:04.70 in the 500 freestyle, and Frank turned in a time of 5:34.26 in the 500 free as well.
 
Rounding out Wooster's individual event winners were first-year Genevieve McCullar, first-year Elena Sandifer, sophomore Savannah Cox, senior Will Laymon, and junior Caleb Sun. McCullar's first collegiate victory came in the 100 backstroke in 1:07.07. Sandifer backed up her stellar collegiate debut against Malone University by winning the 100 freestyle in 57.29. Cox secured the 200 breaststroke in 2:41.48. Laymon won the 100 backstroke in 56.38 while Sun added the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.50.
 
The Scots capped off the afternoon by sweeping both the 200 freestyle relays. Lucas, senior Patricia Chen, junior Sylvia Krieg, and Wiley combined for the 1:45.25 winning time. Sullivan, Laubacher, Laymon, and Glover went 1:30.46 in their event for the victory.
 
Wooster returns to the road on Saturday, Nov. 15, for a non-conference dual meet against Grove City College at 1:00 p.m. inside the James E. Longnecker competition pool.
