Logan Watson-Brown played a pivotal role for George Washington University (GW) as the Revolutionaries’ Women’s Swimming and Diving team fought to a dramatic 150-150 draw against Towson.
In a back-and-forth dual meet at the Burdick Hall Pool, the contest remained in the balance until the final event. Watson-Brown, a senior leader for the GW squad, was a consistent presence at the top of the standings, contributing vital points across both relay and individual backstroke disciplines.
The Revolutionaries opened the afternoon in emphatic fashion, claiming victory in the Women’s 400-Yard Medley Relay. Led off by Watson-Brown, the "A" team quartet clocked a dominant 3:47.49 to seize an early momentum. Watson-Brown’s explosive start set the pace for teammates Natalie Sens, Isabel Sayag, and Joselle Mensah, ensuring GW started the meet on the front foot.
Watson-Brown continued her strong individual campaign in the shorter distances, navigating a deep Tigers field. In the Women’s 100-Yard Backstroke, she secured a hard-earned third-place finish, touching the wall in 57.47.
Later in the session, she returned to the pool for the Women’s 200-Yard Backstroke. In a tactical race that tested the field’s endurance, Watson-Brown clocked 2:07.59 to finish seventh, picking up crucial depth points that would prove essential in the final team score.
The meet reached its crescendo in the final event, with GW and Towson locked in a dead heat. Watson-Brown was entrusted to lead off the Women’s 200-Yard Freestyle Relay "B" team, helping her squad to a fourth-place finish in 1:36.47.
While the GW "A" team managed to edge out Towson in the same event by just four-hundredths of a second, the overall points tally ended in a rare tie. The result keeps the Revolutionaries’ unbeaten streak alive as they head into a crucial stretch of the season.
The GW women will have little time to rest as they pivot quickly to their next challenge—a home dual meet against local rivals Georgetown at the Smith Center. For Watson-Brown and her teammates, the focus remains firmly on building momentum as the Atlantic 10 Championships loom in February.
