Swimmer Leave Their Mark

Westmont women’s swimming finished ahead of all other NAIA teams in the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference Championships Feb. 8-11 at East Los Angeles College. In their fourth year, the Warriors were able to beat Fresno Pacific and Alaska-Fairbanks, which have been their biggest rivals.

The meet also provided an opportunity to honor Westmont’s graduating seniors, the first four-year class in program history: Morgan Bienias, Emma Leathers, Bailey Lemmon, Rian Lewandowski, and Gaby Rego. “They have all given so much to this program,” says head coach Jill Jones Lin. “It’s amazing what they’ve done, and they’ve really set the tone for who we want to be as a program. I could not be prouder.”

The Warriors are waiting to see how many swimmers have officially qualified for the NAIA National Championships on March 1-4 in Columbus, Ga.
