Anderson Claims Fourth in HCAC Championships with Record Score

The Anderson University women's swimming and diving team claimed fourth in the four-day Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) Championships, which concluded on Saturday in Terre Haute.

Anderson finished with a team score of 443, the highest team score the women have ever recorded in the conference meet.

The Ravens closed out with four school records, 34 personal records and an additional 13 season bests.

COACH NATHAN MANLEY'S COMMENTS

• The team dealt with a lot of adversity this year and conference turned out to be no different. Nevertheless, the group stayed positive and rallied together for some really good swimming.
• I'm really proud of the character of the team and I think we have the potential to build on this success in the next couple of years.
• Morgan Ferguson led a strong effort by the women, breaking 4 school records in the process. Morgan posted career best times in 10 different events this year. Her work ethic and competitiveness is infectious.
• You also have to appreciate the effort of several swimmers to find a way to score for the team, stepping outside their normal and favorite events to make an impact, which include Thinh Tran (1,650), Callie Manley (400 IM), Ethan Scialabba (200 back), Abbie Corbly (500).
• The seniors had a good meet. Ben Hall ended up breaking all three men's butterfly records and was a beast on our men's relays as well. Maddie Hopp finished 3rd in the mile. Maddie Adams, Lauryn Shane and Abbie Corbly all had season best swims and scored points for the Ravens. We'll have future success because of the impact these five had on our program's character and competitiveness.
