Antonie Pieterse Makes Program History With NCAA Provisional Qualifying Time

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Freshman Antonie Pieterse became the first swimmer in Roberts Wesleyan University program history to meet an NCAA provisional qualifying time on Saturday.

Pieterse, a freshman from Pretoria, South Africa, set pool and school records, while winning the 100-yard butterfly in 48.08 seconds. Pieterse also established school and pool marks in the 400 individual medley (4:22.99) and 100 backstroke (51.84) during a 141-137 loss to Edinboro.

Junior Tommy Booth set a school record while finishing second in the 50 breaststroke (27.84).

Senior William Rugaber won both the 1-meter (270.00 points) and 3-meter diving (251.15) and Ethan Springle took the 50 backstroke (25.95).

"I am so proud of how this team performed today," Roberts head coach Sara Smith said. "We had so many in-season best times, school, and pool records. And this is coming off a hard week of training. We also saw so much progress and growth in comparison to our meet against Edinboro last year. We're excited to get back to training to prepare for our mid-season conference meet."

The Redhawks will compete in the ECC Championships at the College of Staten Island on Nov. 22 and 23.
