Junior Christine Tixier also did an outstanding job, taking the top place in the 100-yard breaststroke at 1:07.74 and second in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 58.28. Tixier’s fantastic finishes earned her a third place overall finish in the pentathlon.

Other swimmers snagged great times throughout the meet. 

Junior Megan Nerud finished seventh in the 100-yard backstroke at 1:02.57, and sophomore Angela Kirschner finished 13th with a time of 1:03.63. Kirschner also took sixth in the 100-yard freestyle.
