Hampden-Sydney College (H-SC) completed its competition at the 2022 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Swimming Championships on Sunday at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in North Carolina. The Tigers finished sixth among 10 teams with 163 points, while Washington and Lee University won the conference championship with its 933.50 points.

“These guys experienced a tough season, yet they were able to crush some personal bests this weekend,” said 11th-year head coach Betsy Leonard. “We will miss our seniors like crazy, but we feel confident that they are handing over the reins to a talented group of underclassmen who have already started setting their goals for next season. I’m extremely confident in the future of H-SC Swimming!”

H-SC finished sixth in the 400 Yard Free Relay on Sunday night with a time of 3:17.96, a relay team that included freshman Quinn Hardimon, freshman Matt Brooks, junior Braxton Psuik and senior Woody Parsons.
