A similar lineup of Clarke, Chao, Onu and freshman Alexander Shah came out on top in the 400 freestyle relay at 3:07.46, making it four first place finishes on the day for Clarke.

The women’s side of the competition saw just as much success for the Rams. The Fordham women had a diverse list of event victories from a wide variety of different contributors. Junior Audrey Tirrell won the 500 freestyle at 5:10.18, and freshman Jessica Zebrowski came out on top in the 100 freestyle at 52.98. The Rams also found success in the 1000 and 200 freestyle events, where sophomore Ellen Brooks and freshman Emilie Krog finished at the top of the podium. In the 200 breaststroke, freshman Leire Martin finished first with a time of 2:22.46.

The big winner for the Fordham women was Leire’s sister, freshman Ainhoa Martin,. A. Martin won both the 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke, and was a key member of the 200 medley relay team and the 400 freestyle relay team that both took first place.

Freshman Madeline Bergin was a part of both the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay wins. She also took home first in the 50 freestyle at 24.70. Reigning A-10 co-performer of the week Becky Kamau similarly had three wins to her name as a member of the aforementioned relay teams, along with a solo triumph in the 100 butterfly.

The diving competitions were also kind to the Rams. Senior Natalie Ortoff finished first in the 1m dive with a score of 278.10, and freshman Molly Farell won the 3m dive with a tally of 256.35.

Fordham was supposed to be back in action this past Saturday against Massachusetts, but the winter storm that hit the New York City area caused the meet to be canceled. The Rams will next compete on Wednesday, Feb. 2, against St. Francis of Brooklyn.
