LANCASTER, Pa. -- All seven Centennial Conference winter sports are now in action as indoor track & field opened the 2024-25 campaign this past weekend. Swimming and wrestling were back in action following an idle week for most teams over Thanksgiving, while plenty of basketball continued to be played including the opening of conference play on the women's side.
A number of record-breaking performances highlight this week's honors in swimming and indoor track & field. The Swarthmore swimming duo of
Cami Wilson and
Quinn Weygandt broke their own conference records this past weekend, with Wilson earning his third CC weekly award of the year and Weygandt securing her second. On the track, Johns Hopkins'
Emmanuel Leblond set a new CC mark in the 5,000 meters with one of the fastest times in Division III history.
