POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.—The Skidmore College men's and women 's swimming and diving teams tuned up for the upcoming Liberty League Championships at the Vassar Sprint Invitational Saturday afternoon.

Both teams finished second in the five team event.

Brooke Edwards and Lizzie Day each added a second-place finish in the butterfly events. Day touched second in the 50 (28.23), while Edwards was runner-up in the 100 Fly (1:03.24).

"Our teams competed very well today and truly got up and raced," said Skidmore coach Jill Greenleaf. "Today our team depth was an asset as our women got within striking distance of a strong Vassar team and our men soundly defeated three of their four opponents as well.  Each athlete on our team earned points today. It was truly a collective effort."
