HADLEY, Mass. — The Bates College women’s swimming and diving team reaped five All-Conference awards, while senior Kelsey Lamdin and diving coach Mike Bartley received special citations, as the New England Small College Athletic Conference announced its conference championship awards on Tuesday.
Lamdin (Brunswick, Maine) was the clear choice to receive the Diver of the Meet award, after she won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events at last weekend’s NESCAC Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships at Bowdoin — her first two conference titles. Lamdin also claimed Four Year High-Point Diving honors, a tribute to her highly successful diving career at Bates, which has included seven NESCAC All-Conference honors out of a possible eight.
Bartley, now in his 18th year as Bates’ diving coach, received his second NESCAC Diving Coach of the Year Award, after also receiving it in 2001. Bartley tutored not only Lamdin in her two championship performances, but also junior Annaliese Rudis (North Andover, Mass.), who finished fifth in the 1-meter and seventh in the 3-meter competition.
The Bobcats earned a total of five NESCAC All-Conference awards for top-three performances at the championships, the sixth-highest total in the league. In addition to Lamdin’s two all-conference honors, junior Katelyn Drake (Hudson, Ohio) received two for finishing third in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke events, and sophomore Charlotte Green (New Canaan, Conn.) received one for her second-place showing in the 50-yard freestyle. It was the first all-conference award for Green, and the second and third for Drake.
