Cleveland, Ohio – Senior Talisa Lemke and sophomore Daisy Platts won their events while setting school records as the Bowling Green State University swim and dive team concluded the first day of competition at Cleveland State University's Magnus Cup. Lemke won the 1 meter dive with a score of 325.20. Her score of 330.35 in the preliminary round is now the school and Magnus Cup record. Platts took first place in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:59.64, which is the new BGSU record. Platts is the first BGSU swimmer that has finished a 200 IM in less than two minutes. Platts' preliminary time of 2:01.07 is third in school history.

The Falcon relay teams were successful as well. The 400-yard medley relay team of Daisy Platts, Taylor Harris, Sarah Hennings, and Anna Eriksson took first with a time of 3:45.37. The team of Lauren Sullivan, Julianna Petrak, Michaela Ruddock, and Ashleigh Franks took tenth in that race with a time of 3:53.69.
