HOUSTON – Sophomore Amanda Terray (Coaldale, Pa./Panther Valley) of the Lock Haven University swim team placed 13th overall tonight in the 100 backstroke, earning Honorable Mention All-American status at the 2009 NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving National Championships.

Terray was 13th overall in the consolation finals with a school record time of 57.09.

Her time was also faster than her mark at last year’s National Championships that put her sixth overall, which credits how deep and fast the field is at this year’s championship.

LHU head coach Andy Waeger was extremely pleased with the efforts of Terray and he’s very much looking forward to her swim in tomorrow’s 200 backstroke.

Terray qualified for the 100 backstroke consolation finals after a 13th place in this morning’s prelims. She swam 57.16.

On Wednesday, Terray opened her second National Championship meet with a 50th place finish in the 50 freestyle. She swam 24.51.

Terray is back at it tomorrow (Saturday, March 14) morning in the 200 backstroke prelims. The 200 backstroke finals are set for tomorrow night.
