BUFFALO, N.Y. – Cortland swimmers established five school records, including three individual marks, during the second day of competition at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. Cortland remains in fourth place in the team standings with one day of action remaining. Geneseo leads the nine-team meet with 602 points, followed by Oswego (398), New Paltz (384), Cortland (338) and Fredonia (209).

Junior Krista Bergquist (West Islip) broke her own school record and posted an NCAA “B cut” with her second-place time of 59.58 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke. She set the previous record last year in 1:00.57. Junior Taylor Houseman (Wellsville) also broke her own record and provisionally qualified for nationals with a fourth-place time of 1:06.70 in the 100-yard breaststroke. She swam the event in 1:06.89 last year.

Junior Megan Donlevy (Lake Grove/Sachem North) finished eighth in the 200-yard freestyle, but did so with a school-record time of 1:57.21. She broke the previous mark, set by Jessica Covert in 1998, by two hundredths of a second.

Cortland's two relay entries on Friday both broke school records previously established two seasons ago. The 800-yard freestyle relay of junior Katie Molzan (Plattsburgh/Peru Central), sophomore Liz Neddo (Syracuse/Fowler), junior Samantha Buckley (Holbrook/Sachem North) and Donlevy finished fourth in 7:58.99. Molzan, Donlevy, Krista Lennox and current senior Lauren Friedlander (Woodbury/Syosset) held the old record of 8:04.60. The 200-yard medley relay of Bergquist, Houseman, Neddo and junior Kristin Barnoski (Stanley/Marcus Whitman) finished fifth in 1:50.89, just better than the 1:50.93 posted by Bergquist, Houseman, Nikki LaBarge and Allie Houseman in 2007.

Other highlights during Day 2 included: fifth-place (4:49.47) and eighth-place (4:59.13, 4:53.96 in prelims) by Buckley and sophomore Rachel Phillips (Angola/Eden), respectively, in the 400-yard individual medley; an eighth-place showing by Bergquist in the 100-yard butterfly (1:02.19, 1:01.00 in prelims); and consolation heat victories by freshman Laura Bohneberg (Lockport) in the 400-yard individual medley (4:49.78) and sophomore Sarah Wignall (Weedsport) in the 200-yard freestyle (1:09.88).

The competition concludes Saturday at the Flickinger Center on the campus of Erie Community College.
