FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – East Stroudsburg University wrapped up its annual Winter Break training trip in Fort Lauderdale with a unique competition at the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

The Warriors and four other schools took part in the Bahia Cabana Memorial Meet at an outdoor pool located just outside of the Hall of Fame facility and only steps away from the Atlantic Ocean. ESU was joined by Bloomsburg, Clarion, Dickinson and SUNY Oneonta.

The meet consisted of 50-meter swims in the butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Senior Briana Hall recorded three top-10 finishes for the Warriors, while sophomore Taylor Howery and freshman Sarah Luigard each cracked the top 10 in two events.

Hall had the top ESU showing on the day in the 50 free, taking second place out of 88 swimmers with a PSAC-qualifying time of 25.41. She was also third in the 50 fly (27.19) and tied for fifth in the 50 back (29.88).

Howery placed third out of 87 swimmers in the 50 back after touching the wall in 29.44. She began the meet with a ninth-place finish in the 50 fly (28.43), and she was 17th in the 50 free (27.31) to conclude the competition.
