FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood women's swim team (0-2, 0-2 CAC) won
four of the first five events and trailed by a single point at the
first break, but the York College (Pa.) Spartans (1-0, 1-0 CAC)
emerged victorious in the end, winning 124-81 Saturday at the Hood
Aquatics Center.
The 200 medley relay team of Kim Wolfgang, Lenore Brown, Kristen

touching out the York "A" squad in 2:03.13. Senior Amy Kaufman then
won the 1000 free in 11:39.67, Hitchens won the 50 free in 26.41
and Wolfgang bested the field in the 200 individual medley in
2:26.90. But the Blazers won just one more individual event the
rest of the way, that by Kaufman in the 500 free (5:44.11).
Hitchens was second in the 100 free (1:00.72), Wolfgang was
second in the 200 back (2:23.38) and Brown finished second in the
