Blue defeats Maroon 124-116
The USN swim team began its competitive season on Tuesday, October 27, with the 2009 Blue/Maroon meet. This meet splits the team into the Blue and Maroon squads and lets them compete for bragging rights. The 2008 Blue/Maroon meet ended in an 88-88 tie, so each team wanted to win the meet outright. Maroon team captain McLain Gore boasted that the Maroon team had not lost a Blue/Maroon meet since 2003.
This year, though, the tables were turned. The Blue team captured 2 of the 4 relays and 8 of the 12 individual events. Maroon’s depth kept them in the meet all the way until the final relay, but Blue’s victory in the 320 freestyle relay sealed the meet for them. The final score was Blue 124, Maroon 116.
