Falcons Close out Day One of Competition
December 01, 2022 | Women's Swimming & Diving
OXFORD, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University swimming and diving team returned to the pool for the first time in over three weeks today. The Orange and Brown began their second invitational of the season at the Miami Invite.
The return to competition brought some personal bests for the swimmers. Senior Taylor Harris had one of the best finishes of the Falcons with a time of 2:06.75 in the 200 IM and a tenth-place finish. This finish was good enough for a personal best in the event.
Harris was not the only swimmer to set a personal best today. Morgan Sokol not only won her heat in the 500 Freestyle but also set a lifetime best with a time of 5:03.90. Fellow Falcon Freshman Ashley Fryer swam a personal best in the 500 Freestyle, as well.
Elayna Krupp also added a top ten finish to the Falcon performance. Krupp placed tenth in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 23.69.
Diver Rayah Blood continued her strong start to the season with a second-place finish in the 3-Meter Dive with a finals score of 272.10. Blood was one of four Falcon divers to earn points in the event.

Rickey's Reactions
"As a team we started a little flat this morning, but we preformed much better as the day went on. Our swimmers all looked strong and were very consistent. Diving had a good showing with four of them earning points. I am very excited for tomorrow's events."
Up Next
