OLEAN — 48 hours removed from a dominant finish in the water against the Hornell Lady Red Raiders, the Wellsville Lady Sea Lions kept the momentum rolling off to the west on Thursday. With a strong beginning under wraps to start the night, Wellsville would follow with an even stronger end to the meet, as they left Olean with a massive 122-60 win over the host Lady Huskies.

Wellsville (3-0) was able to find first place finishes in 10 of the 12 events that were put on full display, with Kaylee Oswald and Hayden Waldon both leading the charge with two of those victories each. Oswald would finish as the best swimmer in both the 200 freestyle, as well as the highest scoring performer off the Diving board to wrap up the first half of action.

As for Waldon, she provided wins of her own in each half of the meet, with her first coming in the 50 freestyle, and then almost right off the hop in the second half with a winning time in the 100 freestyle. The Lady Sea Lions would go on to bring out the brooms and record all three relay victories to help their cause, gathering winning times in the 200 medley, 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relays.
