ITHACA, N.Y. – Dartmouth women's swimming and diving opened the 2015-16 season against Harvard and Cornell, with the divers competing on Friday and the swimmers racing the next day. The Big Green fell to the Crimson, 217-83, and the Big Red, 205-95.

Freshman Allison Green opened her collegiate career on Friday by qualifying for the NCAA Zone Diving Championship, placing third on 1-meter (265.15) and sixth on the 3-meter board (230.20). Also competing was sophomore Allegra Codamon, who was eighth on the 1-meter diving board (185.00) and seventh on 3-meter (224.86).

Three divers on the men's side also qualified for Zones, bringing the daily total to four, which is the most Dartmouth has ever qualified in a single year since head coach Chris Hamilton took over the team 16 seasons ago.

On the swimming side of things, the Big Green kicked things off by placing third in the 200-yard medley relay. Composed of senior Kendese Nangle, freshman Megan Crook, and seniors Emily Holt and Charlotte Kamai, Dartmouth touched with a time of 1:48.12, which was just three-tenths of a second ahead of Harvard in fourth.

Sophomore AnnClaire MacArt was fourth in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:54.13, while junior Amy Sun followed soon after in seventh with a 1:55.64. MacArt also finished fourth in the 500-yard freestyle, touching in 5:04.61 and finishing just two-tenths of a second ahead of a Crimson swimmer.

Crook touched in second place in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:06.80 while, in the 50-yard freestyle, Nangle was also second with a time of 24.36.

Kamai placed third in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing just over four-tenths of a second ahead of a swimmer from Harvard. Freshman Amber Zimmerman was third in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:26.09, while Crook took fifth with a 2:28.50.

The Green ended the weekend by taking third in the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:32.93. Made up of Sun, MacArt, senior Olivia Samson and Kamai, they left over three seconds between themselves and Cornell.

Dartmouth will take on Brown and Princeton in a three-day meet from Dec. 4-6.
