LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University Lady Eagle swim team made it two in a row with a 100-66 victory over the visiting Mansfield University Mountaineers at Zimmerli Pool.
It was a huge day for LHU as a new school record was set in the 100 yard backstroke during time trials by freshman Amanda Terray (Coaldale, Pa./Panther Valley). Terray broke the previous record by three hundredths of a second as she swam a time of 59.43.
The Lady Eagles got on top of Mansfield early by winning the 200 yard medley relay. The team of Amanda Palmer (Exton, Pa./Downingtown East), Stephanie Kudrick (Coudersport, Pa./Coudersport), Brittany Williams (North East, Pa./North East) and Terray finished in a time 2:02.29 to win the event.
LHU continued to increase their lead as senior captain Kelly Grieneisen (Pittsburgh/Plum) cruised with a first place time of 11:30.11 in the 1000 yard freestyle.
Terray would follow up with a victory in the 200 yard freestyle as she swam a 2:02.43 to qualify in that event for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Meet.
Following the 200 yard freestyle event, Caroline Sweeney (Brielle, N.J./Manasquan) would win LHU’s four event in a row as she would win the 50 yard freestyle in convincing fashion as she came in with a time of 26.29.
Kudrick would keep the event win streak alive as she won the 200 Yard IM in a time of 2:22.54. Following up on the 200 Yard win, Palmer would win the butterfly portion of the 200 Yard events with a time of 2:26.07.
Grieneisen would win her second event of the day with another convincing performance in the 100 yard freestyle as she came in with a time of 57.40.
Terray would win her second event of the day as well as she came home with a time of 2:12.51 in the 200 yard backstroke.
With event nine looming, Shannon Samanka (DuBois, Pa./DuBois) took to the pool and won the 500 yard freestyle with a time of 5:50.24 as the LHU win streak moved itself to nine in a row.
Mansfield would finally take an event over LHU in the 200 yard breaststroke as Maureen Maikner would officially win the event in a time of 2:41.31. The meet moved to an exhibition format prior to the event as LHU already secured the meet victory.
The final event of the day would be the 200 yard freestyle relay as Mansfield would win that event as well with a time of 1:54.45.
Another time trail would also be swam as Palmer swam the 400 yard IM in a time of 5:04.97.
