ABOUT THE MARAUDERS
• Millersville returns to Pucillo Natatorium for the final time this season after having not swam in a home meet since Oct. 6 when they hosted the Relay Carnival. The Marauders will honor three seniors (Gabriella Licata, Amira Washington, and Amanda Wetzler) before the meet. The meet gets underway at 1 p.m. with a 10 minute Senior Day recognition before the start.
• The Marauders are coming off a 132-61 loss to East Stroudsburg in which junior Madisson Cartmill and sophomore Kirsten Strayer picked up victories in one event each. In the 100-yard butterfly, Cartmill recorded a time of 1:04.45, swimming in her first 100 fly event of the season. Strayer touched the wall at 1:15.09 in the 100-yard breaststroke, two seconds shy of her season best (1:13.02).
• With two meets remaining until the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships on Feb. 20, the Marauders have qualified five including freshman Maddie Stoner, freshman Alexis Bowen, junior Madisson Cartmill, senior Amanda Wetzler, and sophomore Alexis Shollenberger. All of the qualifying times came at the F&M Invitational.
• Three Marauders had recorded under a 25.72 in the 50-yard freestyle this season. Those Marauders include Shollenberger, Stoner and Wetzler who has the season's top times in that event.
• Bowen has been the top long distance swimmer for the Marauders, specializing in the 1,650-yard freestyle in which she hit a PSAC time standard by 26 seconds at the F&M Invitational, clocking in at a 19:12.89.
• Wetzler, Cartmill and Shollenberger are on the cusp of breaking the 1:00.00 mark in the 100-yard backstroke and look to do that Saturday. In the 200 free, Shollenberger and Cartill recorded times of 2:12.61 and 2:12.70.
• Strayer has not qualified yet for PSAC Championships but has come close in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing with a time of 1:13.02 at F&M–two seconds shy of the time standard.
• Junior Judith Miller has a similar situation, coming close to the time standard in the 100-yard butterfly. At the F&M Invitational, Miller had a time of 1:01.48, just 0.12 off the time standard.

SCOUTING THE KUZTOWN
• Kutztown took its annual vacation south and escaped the cold weather by training and competing in Fort Lauderdale this week. They finished in second place against Ursinus, Southwestern and Lycoming.
• Senior Katerina Parowski won the 25-yard freestyle and led a group of four Golden Bears who placed in the top-three of individual events. Parowski also placed second in the 75 free.
• In their last meet against Cedar Crest, a total of 11 other KU swimmers posted the top time in 11 events. 
• The Golden Bears honored their four seniors in their final meet at home on Dec. 1 where Kutztown won 116-88 against Cedar Crest. The Marauders and the Golden Bears both swam in the F&M Invitational where Kutztown finished in sixth place
