KEENE, N.H. - The Norwich University women's swimming & diving team resumed competition for the 2026 calendar year on Saturday afternoon, collecting a trio of event victories and several top-three finishes despite falling to Keene State College, 189-83, at the Spaulding Pool.

Delaney Allen (Gibsonia, Pa.) led the Cadets with two individual wins across freestyle and individual medley events.  Allen opened her day with a wire-to-wire victory in the 200-yard freestyle, clocking in at 2:04.93.  She later returned to the pool to dominate the 200-yard individual medley, taking first in 2:25.49.

Norwich also earned a win on the diving board, as Ava LePage (Palmyra, Maine) delivered a strong showing in the 1-meter competition.  LePage compiled a 162.90 score to outdistance the field and notch her first diving win of the season.

The Cadets began the afternoon with a runner-up finish in the 200-yard medley relay, as the team of Kylie Farris (Leander, Texas), Allen, Maria Piekarczyk (Dudley, Mass.), and Deanna Parot (San Diego, Calif.) finished second in 2:04.82.

Parot added an individual runner-up effort in the 50-yard freestyle, touching the wall in 27.39, and also contributed to Norwich's second-place relay squad in the 400-yard freestyle relay alongside Alannah Kelliher (Middleboro, Mass.), Piekarczyk, and Katelyn Daly (Pensacola, Fla.), who posted a 4:06.73.

Additional top-three finishes included Ruby Knoth (Olympia, Wash.) in the 1000-yard freestyle (third in 13:06.39), Ashley Morin (Dracut, Mass.) in the 500-yard freestyle (third in 6:16.42), Piekarczyk in the 100-yard butterfly (third in 1:09.63), and Farris in the 200-yard backstroke (third in 2:37.64).
