Beavers Fall to Utah in Final Duel Meet of the Season
February 09, 2019 | Women's Swimming
Oregon State to prepare for Pac-12 Championships
Freshman Kristina Schneider continued her impressive February with a pair of top three finishes in her two individual events of the day. She finished with a time of 1:57.52 in the 200 free, good for a second-place finish, and followed it up with a third-place performance in the 100 free with a final time of 53.70.
Another Freshman Cali Rowland finished with a pair of top three finishes. Cali Rowland finished in third place in the 100 breast before the first break, then followed it up with a second place performance in the 200 breast five events later.
"(I'm) happy with our performances today, as team they stayed focus on what their goals were for the meet," said Beaver head coach Jennifer Buffin "It was great to finish our final dual meet with as much energy as we did on the last relay and with a freshman posting a best time on the last leg of the relay to finish the meet just .01 away from coming from behind to win the last relay. The team is in a great place going into these last two weeks of final preparations for Pac12's. With 17 of our 21 roster freshman and sophomores there has been a focus this season on how they want to be as a team, they have grown over this season as group of sisters by strengthening their relationships and pushing each other to be their best. It is exciting for this team and for the future.
Oregon State is back to the pool in Corvallis for two weeks of training before heading to Federal Way Washington for the Pac-12 Championships. The four-day event will be hosted at Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center Wednesday, February 27th through Saturday, March 2nd.For more information on the Oregon State swimming team, visit OSUBeavers.com or follow the club @BeaverSwim on Twitter
