CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Hamilton College Continentals finished in third place out of nine teams on the third and final day of the 2025 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Winter Invitational inside Zesiger Center Pool on Sunday, Dec. 7.
 
The meet included MIT, Tufts University and Middlebury College, all of which are ranked in the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America Division III Top 25 poll. The event format featured preliminary heats in the morning and finals in the evening on Saturday and Sunday.
 
Zoe Reynolds '28 competed in the 'A' final in two events. Reynolds finished seventh in the women's 200-yard individual medley and eighth in the 100 butterfly, just 12 one-hundredths of a second behind teammate Jade Matthias '26.

The Continentals broke a 200 medley relay record that had stood for less than 10 months. The members of that record-setting relay were Paige Wielgus '28, Megan Janczyk '29, Chloe Lan '28 and Matthias.
 
Hamilton hosts Colgate University for a dual meet on Friday, Dec. 12 at 5 p.m.
