Day 2 Prelim Results Day 2 Final Results
CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati swimming and diving team saw two more school records fall on Day 2 of the Bearcats Midseason Invitational at the Keating Aquatic Center in races against Carson-Newman and Indiana State. A day after breaking two program records, senior Jacqueline Keire (Burlington, Ontario/Nelson) was at it again, this time besting her own best time in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:43.19. The mark is also a pool record and good for an NCAA A-cut and an automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. Junior Samantha Wheatley (Maple Glen, Pa./Upper Dublin) finished the 400 IM in a time of 4:18.84 to set a school and pool record and earn an NCAA B-cut.
// CINCINNATI SUPREME
The Bearcats were one event shy of a clean sweep on the night, earning victories in 13 of 14 races. Overall, UC took home top honors in the men's and women's 200 medley relay, 400 IM, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and 800 freestyle relay events as well as the women's 100 backstroke.
// POOL RECORDS FALL
In addition to the school and pool records set by Keire and Wheatley, eight other events topped the list for the Keating Aquatic Center. All four relay events set pool records for Cincinnati on the night while records also fell in the men's 200 freestyle, the men's and women's 100 breaststroke and the women's 100 backstroke.
There also were four Keating Aquatic Center records broken in the preliminary rounds earlier in the day as Keire (women's 200 freestyle) was joined by senior Connor Davis (Cincinnati, Ohio/Anderson) (men's 200 freestyle), junior Kennedy Herbert (Green, Ohio/Green) (women's 100 breaststroke) and senior Ludovico Corsini (Milan, Italy, Giulio Casiraghi) (men's100 breaststroke) in record-breaking swims.
