Mount Holyoke is back in action this weekend when it opens the spring portion of its regular season show schedule on Saturday. The Lyons head to Hadley to compete in the Co-Hosted Show.
Mount Holyoke finished ninth overall at the 2016 NEWMAC Championships last weekend. Highlighting the event was senior captain Cathleen Pruden (Raleigh, N.C.), who earned NEWMAC Swimmer of the Year honors for the second straight season after winning the 200-IM and the 400-IM, while racing to third in the 1650-free. The Lyons concluded the team portion of their schedule at the conference championships, posting an 8-2 dual meet record during the 2015-16 season.
The Lyons now wait for the official selections to this year's NCAA Tournament, of which Pruden is expected to participate for the third straight season. This year's Nationals will be held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C., beginning March 16-19. Stay tuned for more details early next week.
