FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – Freshman Sammy Harrison took the old phrase of killing two birds with one stone to heart on Saturday at the Pac-12 Championships as she broke two school records in her 1,650-yard freestyle race.
She smashed the old record by a full 10 seconds with her final time of 16:17.78. In that race, the times at shorter distances are also considered official. At the 1,000-yard mark, she swam a 9:48.89 to break the Oregon State record at that distance. Her time is a likely NCAA qualifier for the national championships later this month.
Junior Crystal Kibby hit the B Standard and notched a season-best time of 2:15.26 in the 200-yard breaststroke. Senior Ivette Dailey-Deaton claimed her personal best in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:00.35.
The Beavers finished the Pac-12 Championships in eighth place. The Pac-12 Invitationals take place tomorrow as the final opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
