Christina Felchner '16 is at it again.
In her first swim meet of the season, Christina set a pool record at Wilbraham & Monson Academy, finishing the 50-yard freestyle in 25.41 seconds in a meet against Kingswood Oxford Dec. 5.
"This is very exciting," Christina said. "I didn't think I'd do that well because it was the first meet of the season, and I haven't swam in about four months or so. But, I did extremely well. I'm starting off with how I ended last season, which is really good."
Christina broke her own mark of 26.14, which she set in the first meet last season. Her new record is somewhat shocking considering she didn't swim in the fall, instead opting to run cross country.
"Christina performed beyond expectations, especially this early in the season," Coach Dan Moran said. "She set the bar for herself very high. She's been working hard. We're focused on the 50 and the 100 free almost exclusively this year so hopefully we can keep seeing a nice progression."
Along with the pool record in the 50 free, Christina is part of school records in 200 medley relay, 200 free relay and 400 free relay. She won the 50 and 100 free at the New England Division III Championships last season.
