Lauren Wander
Senior Lauren Wander (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill) is the lone senior on the women's swim roster. Now in her third varsity-lettering season, she has been a leader in and out of the pool.
“Lauren wants to get better each and every day,” said head coach Scott Felix. She has earned the respect of the coaching staff and the team by being a consummate leader. Lauren has a tremendous work ethic and it shows in the pool and in the classroom. She maintains a 3.308 in business with a Spanish minor.”
Lauren, who finished second in the 200 freestyle and fourth in the 500 freestyle at the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association championship, had set a goal of swimming the 200 free in under two minutes. Last Saturday in the meet against Middlebury, she realized her goal by finishing the event in 1:58.37.
“Only six other women in the history of our program have been under two minutes in that event,” said Felix. “I couldn't be prouder of her. Her hard work and determination helped her accomplish what she set out to do. I know that she will be a key to our success at the upcoming women's state meet.”
