Full Results
Akron, Ohio—The Bowling Green State University women's swim team had a strong showing against the Akron Zips but were unable to capitalize on individual performances for a Falcon win in their last regular season meet of the 2009-10 season. Akron defeated BGSU 183 to 111. With the loss, the Falcons drop to 1-6 in Mid-American Conference competition and the Zips improve to 2-5.
On the night, the Falcons finished in the top three on 23 different occasions and finished in first-place three times, including a first, second and third-place finish by Amanda Rom, Alexis Kain and Katie Womack in the 200-yard breaststroke.
Rom took top honors in the event, finishing the race in 2:26.01, while teammates Kain and Womack came in behind her for second and third place finishes, posting times of 2:26.27 and 2:28.14, respectively.
Vicky Yu, also a sophomore, touched in at 2:05.77 for a first-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. Yu's time in tonight's race was just one second short of her personal best time on the season of 2:04.36. Teammate Sarah Burston touched in behind Yu with a time of 2:08.23 for second.
Yu also nabbed second in the 100-yard butterfly (57.71) and was a member of both Orange and Brown relay squads that took second tonight.
In her last meet of the 2009-10 regular season, senior Meg Richardson was the final Falcon to finish in first. Richardson took top honors in the 100-yard freestyle, an event which she already holds the fastest time in the MAC. Although not beating her personal best tonight, Richardson's time of 53.61 was indeed fast enough for first. Richardson also took second in the 200-yard freestyle (1:54.25), third in the 50-yard freestyle (24.64) and was second leg in the Falcon relay that took second in the 800-yard freestyle relay.
Also adding points to the Falcon scoreboard were freshmen Alexis Bennet and Jamie Akenberger.
Bennet took third in the 200 free (1:54.73), second in the 50 free (24.60), fourth in the 100 free (53.71) and was a member of the 800 free relay that came in second. Akenberger nabbed a second and a third place finish in the 200- and 100-yard backstroke events, respectively. Akenberger touched in at 2:07.83 in the 200 and 1:00.41 in the 100. She was also a member of the Falcon relay that took fourth in the 200 medley relay and the 800 freestyle relay that took third.
The Falcons will have a short intermission to prepare for the MAC Championships which will kick off on February 24 and last thru February 27. The 2010 MAC Championships will be hosted by Miami University.
