AKRON, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University swimming and diving program continued to excel at the Zippy Invitational on Saturday, turning in several strong swims to remain in second place with one day of competition remaining. Two swimmers – Kristin Filby and Maya Skorupski – had impressive 'B' cut swims in the evening finals.
"The team finished day two with a few more best times," Matt Ense said. "Maya Skorupski breaking the school record in the 100 back was the highlight of the day. The ladies have been getting stronger each session so tomorrow should be a fun day of racing."
Â
Filby became the second Falcon swimmer to turn in a 'B' cut swim in the 100 breast event this season, joining teammate Daniela Carrillo. Filby finished second in the event on the night with a time of 1:02.37. Her time was good for second-best among Falcon swimmers this season. Skorupski turned in BGSU's third 'B' cut standard time of the season, this one coming in the 100 back. Skorupski's season-best time of 54:46 established a new school record, previously owned by Alexa Harris (54.49) in 2013..
Â
Several other Falcons had impressive nights, as true freshman Emily Verbrugge added to her already impressive season with a second-place finish in the 400 IM. Her time of 4:22.54 in the event was a career-best. Verbrugge was joined by teammate Nicole Hranchook – who finished fifth – in the A final of the 400 IM. In the 100 fly, Jordan Bullock finished with a season-best time of 55.16 for a fourth place finish, while Kalinka Mogensen finished fifth in the event. Three Falcons qualified for the 200 free final, as Tara Capouch (second), Hannah Newman (third) and Alex Poitinger (fifth) all scored for the Falcons.
Â
BGSU will conclude the Zippy Invitational on Sunday. Preliminaries begin at 9:00 am, with finals taking place starting at 3:00 p.m. On Monday, BGSU will participate in the Zippy Long Course Invitational beginning at noon in Akron.
