Richardson Fronts the Falcons
Sole senior, Meg Richardson, was named the captain of the BGSU women's swim team for the second year in a row, and for good reasons too. At the 2008-09 MAC Championships, Richardson shattered record times in two individual events (23.43 in the 50-yard freestyle and 50.80 in the 100-yard freestyle), and was a member of four record-setting relay squads, including the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:32.72), the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:24.52), the 200-yard medley relay (1:41.83) and the 400-yard medley relay (3:45.15).
In her first MAC competitions of the 2009-10 season, Richardson swam as if no time had passed between seasons. Over Halloween weekend, Richardson and the Falcons squared off against the Eastern Michigan Eagles and the Ball State Cardinals. Between the two meets, Richardson captured seven first-place finishes out of the eight races she competed in, including four relays that tapped in for first-place. In the 50-yard freestyle, Richardson swam the fastest individual time (23.82) in the conference; only four-tenths of a second off of her current record in the event.
For her performances in last weekend's races, Richardson was named the BGSU Papa John's Athlete of teh Week and was nominated for MAC Swimmer of the Week.
