New York University's women's 200-yard medley relay set a team
record on the first day of the NCAA Division III Swimming &
Diving Championships on Wednesday, March 19, in Indianapolis,
IN.
The four-day meet is being held at the Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Natatorium.
The foursome of junior Emily Doerner,
freshman Katie Webber, sophomore Krista
Traub, and freshman Elise
Gibbs qualified for the consolation finals with a time
of 145:48 in the morning preliminaries and then finished in 12th
place overall, setting a new program-record with a time of 1:45.19
on Wednesday evening.
The same foursome had set the record earlier this season with a
time of 1:45.23.
With their finish, the relay squad earned Honorable Mention
All-America accolades. The top eight finishers in each event
receive All-America honors, while 9-16 take home Honorable
Mention.
"The women swam awesome tonight," said Head Coach Trevor
Miele. "They stepped up and put together a fantastic race.
I'm really proud of them."
