GROVE CITY, Pa. - Fueled by three first-place finishes, including a pair of relays, Grove City College's women's team has surged into first place following Thursday's action at the 2025 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Swimming & Diving Championships.

The Championships started Wednesday with two relays and three-meter diving preliminaries.

Grove City sophomore Ashley Rauhauser (York, Pa./Homeschooled) would claim the first individual title for her team, as she was the winner in the 200 Individual Medley (2:13.41).

Saint Vincent would pick up its third event win in the 50 Free when Leskovansky placed first in 23.93 seconds to win by nearly half a second.
