DUKE WOMEN OPEN WITH HISTORIC START
The Duke women's swimming and diving team has opened the 2021-22 season with a 4-0 dual meet record, one of the best starts in program history.
Duke's 4-0 record is the program's best since the 2015-16 season, marking just the fifth time in program history that the Blue Devils have opened the season with four consecutive dual meet wins.
LAST TIME OUT
The Duke swimming and diving team concluded the Wolfpack Invitational in a strong way, as the 22nd-ranked women placed third (1,318) in the meet while the men finished fourth (987) at the Greensboro Aquatic Center on Saturday.
"What a great team effort this weekend," Duke head coach Dan Colella said. "We are extremely proud of how they performed all three days. We came away with numerous personal bests, top 10 times in program history, NCAA 'B' Standard times and then finished up the meet with Sarah Foley breaking the school record in the 200 breaststroke. I believe this is a great indicator of things to come in the second half of the season."
After the morning preliminaries Duke saw 42 entries into the evening finals, including three 'A' Final and eight 'B' Final appearances.

The Duke swimming and diving etched over 50 career best times, 23 top-10 times in program history and 18 NCAA 'B' standard times at the Wolfpack Invitational in November to close out the fall portion of the 2021-22 campaign.
The 22nd-ranked Duke women are 4-0 entering 2022, the program's best since the 2015-16 season, while the men are 2-2. In the Wolfpack Invitational, the women placed third and the men fourth in the meet among five ranked programs.
Sophomore Sarah Foley led the way for the Blue Devils, putting together a solid meet with four 'A' finals, four NCAA 'B' Standard times and three times that ranked in the top five in program history.
