Final Results
Â
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The Bowling Green State University swimming and diving program capped off the Pittsburgh Invitational on Sunday with three wins, finishing second behind Pittsburgh of the Atlantic Coast Conference. All three of the Falcons winning times – swum by Victoria Griffin, Daniela Carrillo and Jordan Bullock – were season-best times. BGSU will now have a week off before heading to the Zippy Invitational the first weekend of December.
Â
"The team had a great finish to the meet as a group," head coach Matt Ense said. "We were able to challenge the team by swimming a lot of events this weekend and they met the challenge and finished the meet very strong. We now have 10 days until we head to Akron for another long invitational."
Â
Griffin picked up the Falcons first win of the afternoon, swimming a first-place time of 49.89 in the A flight finals of the 100 free. The winning time was just .06 seconds off Griffin's school record and was a season-best in the event for the Orange and Brown. Hannah Newman (fourth) and Kayla Effinger (sixth) also picked up points for BGSU in the event.
Â
In the next event, Carrillo took home first place in the 200 breast. Carrillo's time of 2:12.46 was a season-best for the Falcons. She was joined in the A flight finals of the event by teammates Kristin Filby (sixth) and Christin Swanepoel (eighth).
Â
Bullock won the 200 fly on Sunday afternoon with a season-best time of 2:02.04. Nicole Hranchook finished fifth in the 200 fly A flight finals to help the Falcons rack up more points towards a second place finish at the invitational.
Â
In the 200 back A finals, the Falcons had four swimmers pick up points. Franziska Wohlert swam a season-best time of 2:00.44 to finish second. Elodie Schreiber (fourth), Maya Skorupski (fifth) and Maria Galic (eighth) all competed in the championship flight, as well.
Â
Three Falcons won B and C flight finals on Sunday, the final day of the Pittsburgh Invite. Emily Verbrugge (200 breast) and Hannah Albion (200 fly) won B flights on Sunday, while freshman Anna Paccapaniccia finished first in the C flight final of the 200 breast.
Â
The Falcons are back in action Dec. 4-6 at the Zippy Invitational in Akron, Ohio. Four Falcons – Victoria Griffin, Daniela Carrillo, Franziska Wohlert, and Kristin Filby – will compete that weekend at the LCM USA National Championships.
