ATLANTA, Ga.- Henrique Januario and Kyla Blakemore take home first-place finishes from Georgia Tech.
The Eagles ended the meet this afternoon with a final score of 149.5 to Georgia Tech’s 370.5. Carson-Newman women’s swim contributed 72.5 points to the overall team score, while the men added 77 points.
“Overall, it was a great meet with some solid swims. Henrique, Eli, and Hobson had awesome swims across the board on the men’s side,” head coach for the swim team Ben Young said.
Henrique Januario finished first in the men’s 200-yard breaststroke with a finals time of 2:01.67.
In the men’s 400-yard medley relay, Januario raced with teammates Tyler Schehr, Will Humphreys, and Ridge McCay to finish second with a time of 3:22.21.

“There were great moments and some things to clean up and fix. I was disappointed to see some poor mistakes during a few of our races, but this is why we have these meets just outside of Conference. It gives us the opportunity to make the mistakes without the added pressure of a championship meet, learn from them, and move on so that we don’t continue to make them. We are looking forward to getting back in the water tomorrow, shaking it out a bit, and completely shifting our focus to fully prepare for the last, and most exciting, part of the season,” Young said.
The Eagles will race again at the South Atlantic Conference Championships beginning Wednesday, Feb. 8.
