SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The University of Utah women's swimming and diving team slipped to third place after the second day of competition at the Notre Dame Invitational with 1,073 points, 18 points behind second-place Truman State. The men gained a solid hold of second place with 970 points, while Notre Dame maintained its hold on first place.
Freshman Jennifer Fredsall set a new Notre Dame Invitational and Rolfs Aquatic Center pool record in the 100 fly with a time of 55.11 seconds. Fredsall's time is also a NCAA provisional qualifying time.
Sterling Richards set another Utah school record in the 3-meter diving event with 400.95 points. Richards beat out Sam Stoner of Notre Dame by 49.75 points on the way to his second event victory of the meet.
Amber Walter won the 100 breast with a time of 1 minute, 03.15 seconds, which is an NCAA provisional qualifying time. Walter's victory in the 100 breast marks the second event she has provisionally qualified for the NCAAs at the Notre Dame Invitational.
Kelsey Patterson posted her second victory of the meet by winning the 1-meter diving event with 305.30 points, 23.3 points ahead of second place. Anna Braszkiewicz finished in sixth place with 257.80 points.
The women's 200 medley relay team of Leah Jensen, Walter, Fredsall and Amy Barefield placed second with a time of 1 minute, 43.78 seconds. In the 200 free, Alison McInturff placed second and Shannon McQueen finished third with times of 1:52.42 and 1:52.84 respectively. McQueen also finished third in the 100 back with a time of 58.03 seconds.
"Today was a pretty good day for us," said Head Coach Michael Litzinger. "Our men have a solid hold on second place, but our women dropped to third due to a disqualification and it will be interesting to see how they respond tomorrow as we try to dig ourselves out of a little bit of a hole."
The final day of competition starts tomorrow, with the preliminary heats taking place in the morning and the finals starting at 6:30 p.m.
