MADISON, N.J. - Freshman Amira Hadri had a hand in a pair off school records to lead the Drew University women's swimming & diving team on the opening night of the Landmark Conference Virtual Championships on Friday evening in F.M. Kirby Pool.

The championship is being held at four different sites - Catholic, Drew, Juniata, and Scranton. After the diving events are held next weekend, the results of the championship will be merged and team champions will be announced the week of March 8.

The Rangers, competing for the first time since Feb. 16 of last season, opened the meet in impressive fashion, as Hadri, sophomore Katie Cashin, junior Sydney Everhart, and junior Mackenzie Garcia Hynds clocked a 1:49.86, edging the former mark of 1:50.05 set in 2019.

Cashin followed up by finishing first among the Rangers in the 500-freestyle, churning out a 5:13.74 while dropping 20 seconds from her best time in the event last season.
