FAIRBANKS, Alaska – Freshman
Victoria Adams (Anchorage, Alaska/Accounting) readjusted the Patty Center Pool record book Saturday for the third straight meet while winning three times, but Loyola Marymount came away with the dual meet victory for the second consecutive day, winning 135-68.
Adams was a part of two pool records Saturday, giving her four in the Nanooks' (2-2) last three meets. She broke her own record from a week ago in the 200 yard individual medley, winning in 2 minutes, 9.0 seconds, cutting her record down by 0.52 seconds.
She also swam the opening leg of Alaska's pool-record-breaking 200 medley relay team. Sophomore
Eileen Audette (Seward, Alaska/Fisheries), junior
Margot Adams (Anchorage, Alaska/Political Science) and senior
Bente Heller (Hamburg, Germany/Psychology) joined Adams to carry the team to a victory in 1:47.77. That broke the pool record from a year ago of 1:48.30, set by Simon Fraser, by over half a second.
Adams later won the 100 backstroke in 58.23 for a 1-2 Nanooks finish with Heller. The top three finishers were separated only by 0.15 seconds, with Heller out-touching LMU's Kjirsten Magnuson by five hundredths of a second, 58.33 to 58.38.
Magnuson beat Heller earlier in the 50 freestyle for the second straight day, winning the event in 24.36 to Heller's 24.62.
Loyola Marymount (2-0) won eight of the meet's 11 events and finished 1-2 in five of them, including 1-2-3 sweeps in the 200 and 500 freestyles. Hannah Calton was a three-time winner Saturday for the Lions. She won the 200 butterfly in a Patty Center Pool-record time of 2:04.56 and won the 500 freestyle in 5:09.66. She closed the meet out by swimming the first leg for LMU's winning 400 freestyle relay team, which won in 3:37.83.
Alaska won't compete for a five-week stretch as they get ready for the Husky Invitational in Federal Way, Wash., on Dec. 6, 7 and 8.
