The Providence College men's and women's swimming teams continued to compete at the BIG EAST Championships at the University of Louisville's Ralph R. Wright Natatorium on Thursday. The second day of the four-day event featured the 500y free, 200y IM and 50y free events.
In the preliminary round, the top-eight finishers in each event qualified for their respective finals later in the night.
In the women's 500y free, senior co-captain Courtney Larcom (Morristown, N.J.) paced the Friars with a time of 5:13.59 (34th out of 40). Fellow senior co-captain Alexis Fatigati (New Milford, N.J.) and sophomore Nicole Monanian (Manahawkin, N.J.) rounded out the Friar effort with times of 5:16.15 and 5:17.55, respectively. Freshman Kelly Hall (Morristown, N.J.) made her individual debut at The Championships in the 200y IM, posting a time of 2:13.76. The Friars had a school record six women compete in the preliminary round of the 50y free. Freshman Jillian Mullany (Monroe, Conn.) led the team, as she posted a time of 24.85 (40th out of 63).
