NEWARK, Del. – James Madison swim and dive remained unbeaten after winning the Colonial Athletic Association Pod Meet Sunday afternoon at the Rawstrom Natatorium. The Dukes triumphed over conference opponents William & Mary (202-145), UNCW (255-98) and host Delaware (192-160). With the wins, JMU advanced to 5-0 overall in dual meets, including a 3-0 mark in the CAA.

Sophomore Quinn MacMillan started the Dukes' day right where they left off from yesterday's success, taking first place in the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:03.51. Senior Camilla Czulada (51.60) continued the top finishes taking second in the 100 freestyle.

Sophomore Katie Parker won her third individual race of the meet, clocking in at 2:19.93 in the 200 breaststroke, followed by senior Amanda Presgraves, who claimed second in 2:22.19.

The Dukes closed out the meet with a second-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay as the tandem of Kristen Zielinski, Carli Molano, MacMillan and Czulada with a time of 3:28.44.

Quoting Head Swimming Coach Dane Pedersen
"The girls did a good job continuing their energy from yesterday. Swimming three sessions in 24 hours is challenging but we had a lot of good swims today. We have plenty to learn from and apply as we move forward but this team is fun to be around. They are really developing their identity as a unit and it's fun to watch."
