BOSTON – Backed by nine season bests and a sparkling new school record from Carly Schnabel, the Northeastern swimming team closed out its dual meet season on a high note at Harvard. The divers also found success this weekend, putting up competitive performances at James Madison's diving invitational.
 
In the first race of the meet at Harvard, sophomore Carly Schnabel shattered the 1000 freestyle school record with a time of 10:03.95. Colleen McCormack was the previous record holder with a time of 10:12.25 in 2014. Earlier this season, Schnabel raced 10:20.16 in the same event.

Anila Mehta and Rachel Smith swam to two season bests each at Blodgett Natatorium today. Mehta grabbed third in the 1650 with a time of 17:46.80, shaving almost 18 seconds off her time from the Frank Elm Invitational. Mehta also took the top spot in the 500 freestyle, clocking 5:12.32 and setting a season best by just over three seconds. Rookie Rachel Smith broke two minutes in the 200 freestyle for the first time this season finishing in 1:58.87 and knocked more than a second off her season best in the 100 freestyle with a time of 54.67.
 
Additional season highs included Sara Touchette-McGowan in the 200 freestyle (1:56.34), Angela Gyurina in the 50 freestyle (24.47), Elizabeth Aldrich in the 100 freestyle (57.61) and Jordan Domeier who set a season best in the 200 Individual medley by over six seconds (2:07.84).
 
In Harrisonburg, Va., the divers got a chance to see some of their conference competition early, as they took on James Madison and Towson, along with Clemson. Junior Alyssa Seales advanced to the finals in both events, beating out Towson's Emily Wilson for 7th in the three-meter (234.35) and Wilson plus two Clemson divers for 5th in the one-meter (264.80).
