EMU Invite Final Results
Ypsilanti, Michigan – The Bowling Green State University swim and dive team placed second in the 2014 Eastern Michigan University Invitational Dec. 5-6. The team won eight events, beating out Oakland, Ball State, Wayne State and Olivet Nazarene. Host school EMU took first place. This is the second time this season BG has defeated Ball State and Oakland.
"We had a chance to experiement with some different things for different people. We tried out different events, strategies and mixed up some relays and things of that nature," Head Coach Petra Martin said. "I'm happy with the way we worked together as a team and liked the energy we had."
After day one of competition, the team sat in third place with 265 points. EMU led the field with 305 points, followed by Oakland with 290.
Estela Davis recorded two first place finishes at the meet. In the 200 backstroke, she broke the EMU pool record, swimming a first place, NCAA B cut qualifying time of 1:57.80. Davis swam another NCAA B cut qualifying time, as well as a meet record, of 54.97 in the 100 backstroke. In the 400 individual medley, she swam another season best time of 4:20.11, beating her previous best by three seconds.
"Estela Davis earned a couple more NCAA B cuts today which was great to see. We certainly learned a lot this weekend, but also added more speed to our performances, and can't wait for February."
In the 200 breaststroke, Daniela Carrillo finished first with a season best time of 2:14.27. Kristin Filby placed second in the event. In the 100 breaststroke, it was Filby who took first place and Carrillo finished in second.
Victoria Griffin and Kayla Effinger were another Falcon duo to finish 1-2 in an event. Griffin placed first in the 50 freestyle and Effinger in second with a season best time of 23.43.
BG also won two relay events. Yesterday, the 400 free relay team of Griffin, Effinger, Davis and Hannah Newman set a new season personal best of 3:24.96. This morning, the 200 medley relay of Maya Skorupski, Filby, Jordan Bullock and Effinger placed first with a meet record 1:43.12.
In the final event of the meet, the Falcons won the 400 medley relay with a pool and meet record 3:43.56. Davis, Filby, Bullock and Griffin were members of the winning team.
BG has over a month off before returning to Cooper Pool Jan. 16 for a meet against Michigan State and Marshall. The Falcons also compete Jan. 17 against Toledo and Marshall.
