CARLISLE, Pa. – The Millersville women's swim team kicked off the 2023-24 season at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Fall Invitational hosted in Carlisle. The women's competition consisted of swimmers from Clarion, Edinboro, East Stroudsburg, IUP, Lock Haven, and Millersville.
With so many swimmers and events, the meet was split into two sessions: The PSAC Fall Frenzy and the PSAC Invitational. Millersville finished in fourth place in the Fall Frenzy with a score of 598.5. The medley relay team of Jordan Plempel, Leah Eckert, Kristen Maile, and Jewels Hepner took fourth place with a time of 1:55.30. Ilana Jacobson, Leah Eckert, and Jordan Plempel competed in the 3x100 event and took fourth place with a time of 3:39.55.
To start the invitational event, Plempel, Eckert, Maile, and Hepner competed in the 400-yard medley and finished fourth (4:06.46). Plempel continued an electric performance with her second-place finish in the 100-yard IM (1:01.74). With a few other strong performances, the Marauders found themselves in third place with a score of 615.5.

REACTION FROM COACH EVAN ANTHONY
"I am very pleased with the performances from all the swimmers today. With this being our first official competition, we got to see everything we have been working on come together. Keystone Aquatic Center is the new host for the PSAC Swimming Championship so it was great having the team compete in the pool that will host our biggest meet of the year. The meet also provided us with a unique structure to allow the athletes to swim more events than they normally would in a single day. This gave us more opportunities to get up and race to work on swimming through fatigue. Today was a great starting point for us, and we are all extremely excited to keep moving in the right direction."

The Marauders return home and prepare to host Saint Francis on Saturday, Oct. 21 at 1 p.m.
