CINCINNATI -- With the University of Cincinnati swimming and diving alumni in the house, the Bearcats secured a sweep of IUPUI on Friday night at Keating Aquatics Center, highlighted by a pair of pool records by junior Jacqueline Keire.
Cincinnati won 26 of 28 swimming events on the evening, while also winning two of the diving events.
// KEIRE SETS TWO POOL RECORDS
Keire (Burlington, Ont./Nelson) continued her fast-paced start to her junior year, sweeping the pair of individual events in which she competed and running her individual winning streak to 10 events.
Keire first touched in the 50 free in 23.07, besting her own pool record of 23.24. She followed that up by breaking Maria Oberg's pool record in the 500 free, clocking in at 4:51.78.
