Zaltsman was chosen in April as one of 12 women swimmers to represent the U.S. in the Maccabi World Games, which were held in Israel July 13-23. She is also a part of school record-setting 200- and 400-yard medley relay teams and will look to help the Cardinals soar to new heights this winter as they look to build on last year’s 10-5 season.
Zaltsman placed fourth or higher in the 50 free in every dual meet last season and took first or second in the 100 free in each dual meet in which she swam it, as well as a seventh-place finish in the event in the NESCAC Championships. She took first in both events in the season-opening tri-meet against Bates and Trinity as the Cardinals sunk the Bantams for the 20th time in the last 23 meetings and won their sixth straight against Bates. She had a pair of first-places in the six-team Cardinal Invitational (50 and 100 fly) and also took second in the 50 free, 100 back, and 100 free during the meet. In addition to taking seventh in the 100 free, Zaltsman also placed eighth in the 50 fly during the NESCAC Championships. Her time of :53.08 in the preliminaries in the 100 free is a program record.
Zaltsman and the Cardinals begin their quest for their sixth winning campaign in seven years Saturday at Bates, their only dual meet away from Middletown.
