Vassar College senior Julia Cunningham had a banner weekend, as she won all four individual events she entered, while helping the Brewers to a third-place finish at the Seven Sisters Championships. Cunningham won the 200-IM with a time of 2:11.20, and followed that with a 400-IM win with a season-best time of 4:34.45. She then took the 100-butterfly minutes later, winning by over three seconds with a 58.04. In day two, she earned the win in the 200-butterfly with a "B" cut time of 2:05.95. She would later help Vassar to a second-place finish in the 400-free relay to finish the Seven Sisters Championships. She was also named as the Marly Pineda Award Winner, given to a Seven Sisters senior that best best exemplifies the dedication, passion, selflessness, sportsmanship, and spirit of a champion that defined Marly. Each honoree will also be known for her positive attitude, commitment toward making everyone around her feel welcomed and supported, and her "never ever" give up spirit.
