Swim team defeats Illini,
loses to others
The Purdue women's swim team came away from the
Quad Meet, hosted by Wisconsin, with a victory over Illinois and losses
to Wisconsin and Minnesota Saturday in Madison, Wis.
The scores were as follows: Purdue 205, Illinois
147; Wisconsin 248.5, Purdue 113.5; Minnesota 215, Purdue 138. The women
are 11-4 (4-4 Big Ten).
"This was the first time in four years that we've
beat Illinois," Coach Cathy Wright-Eger said. "I think that we swam
really well on Friday, but today we kind of backed off. I know that
the whole team is tired and we need to get a lot of rest, but beating
Illinois was our main goal going into the weekend and we did."
In the 100 free, senior Gyongyver Lakos was defeated
for the first time this year with a second-place finish and a time of
52.65.
Senior Brianna Reina finished fifth in the 200
breaststroke with a time of 2:22.60. Freshman Lindsay Kirchoff finished
eighth with a time of 2:26.18 and junior teammate Ronica Rogalski finished
ninth with a time of 2:27.30.
In the final event of the weekend, Purdue's 400
free relay team of Lisa Dolansky, Patricia Finnerty, Missy Bromley and
Lakos lost for the first time this season. The Boilermakers finished
fourth with a time of 3:37.60.
In diving, juniors Molly MacFarlane and Kara Hajek
finished second and third against Minnesota and first and second against
both Illinois and Wisconsin.
