Norton, Mass. – In their final tune up before the upcoming New England Women's And Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships, the Clark University women's swimming and diving squad fared extremely well at the two-day, non-team scoring Wheaton College Invite over the weekend at Balfour Natatorium.

Melissa Orzechowski (Windsor, Conn.) won a trio of events for Clark while other individuals had career-best performances.

Orzechowski took top honors in the 500-yard freestyle (5:18.86), where the Scarlet and White had three of the top four finishers. She was followed by Karina Urquhart (Sanford, Maine) in second place (5:27.24) and Lydia Berry (Kennebunk, Maine) in fourth (5:38.49).

Her winning ways continued in the 1,650-yard freestyle as she posted a time of 18:06.15, besting Berry who finished second (19:22.49).

She then wrapped up her three win weekend with a first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke (2:16.90).

Emily Drewniany (Middletown, Conn.) meanwhile, set a lifetime best in the 1,000-yard freestyle in a time of 12:28.50, good for fourth place, just behind teammate Jenna Harrison-Peters (Bethesda, Md.) who finished third (12:22.39).

Leah Guliasi (San Rafael, Calif.) set a career-best on the three-meter board, eclipsing the 300 point mark for the first ever, registering a score of 313.55. Breanna Tucker (Temecula, Calif.) took top honors in that event with a score of 395.25.

Clark will have almost two weeks off until they take part in the NEWMAC Championships at WPI scheduled to begin on Thursday, February 19.
