Women’s Meet
Towson’s Hannah Snyder dropped an impressive thirteen seconds from her seed time to take the middle lane in tonight’s 500 freestyle Championship final. Behind her 4:50.84, James Madison’s Quinn MacMillan swam a 4:51.51 for second. William and Mary’s Morgan Smith earned the third seed in 4:53.47.
