Hurricanes Fall in Tri-Meet with Tech, Irish
ATLANTA — The Miami Hurricanes fell in their tri-meet with Georgia Tech and Notre Dame Saturday afternoon, dropping matchups with the Yellow Jackets and Fighting Irish at the McAuley Aquatic Center.
Among Miami’s impressive performers Saturday was diver Millie Haffety, who picked up her third win of the weekend with a score of 294.60 on the 1-meter springboard, besting Notre Dame’s Annie Wiese (274.20) for the top finish in the event. She would go on to add a third-place finish in the 3-meter (293.70).
Freshman swimmer Zorry Mason continued a fantastic weekend with the afternoon’s top time in the 100 IM (57.33), more than a half-second better than Notre Dame’s Rachel Wittmer (57.91), who took second in the event.
Junior Claire McGinnis had an early fifth-place finish in the 1,650 freestyle (17:44.90) while sophomore Carmen San Nicolas Martinez posted Miami’s best time in the 200 free (1:53.13).
Mason took sixth in the 100 fly (56.76) before narrowly missing out on her second win of the day in the 100 breast. Mason, one of Miami’s top point-getters in her first collegiate season, finished in 1:03.93 – just a second short of Notre Dame’s Meaghan O’Donnell (1:02.84).
Freshman Coco Hull, San Nicolas Martinez, senior Roxanne Yu and sophomore Sydney Knapp ended the afternoon with a time of 3:32.87 in the 400 medley relay.
The Hurricanes return to training before hosting back-to-back meets in early November. Miami welcomes Boston College on Nov. 2 for a dual meet at 3 p.m., and will face off against the Eagles and FAU in a tri-meet on Nov. 3, slated for a 9:30 a.m. start time.
