Day Two Of Miami Invite Cut Short, Falcons Back In Action Tomorrow
December 06, 2019 | Women's Swimming & Diving
Oxford, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University swim and dive team competed in day two of the Miami Invite, which will conclude tomorrow. The results and times below are from the preliminary session, but they will be used as the official times. Tonight's finals session was cancelled due to issues with the pool. Tomorrow will feature the same events as scheduled, with the preliminary session starting at 10:00 a.m. This is an hour later than scheduled because of the pool issues.
Daisy Platts set a Miami Invite record, taking first in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 53.87 seconds. This time is also third-best in school history. The sophomore now owns the top three times in that event, and five of the top ten.
Anna Eriksson and Sarah Hennings finished fourth and fifth in the 100-yard butterfly, separated by just one hundredth of a second. Eriksson finished in 55.99 seconds and Hennings finished in 56.00 seconds.
Senior Talisa Lemke scored a 302.45 in the 3 meter dive, earning seventh place. Freshman Taylor Harris placed tenth in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:05.48. Because the finals session was cancelled, no relays were raced.
