STATESBORO, Ga. – The UNC Asheville swimming and diving team picked up a 274.5-207.5 victory over Georgia Southern on Sunday afternoon. Over the course of the last two days, the Bulldogs won 14 of the 26 events. Highlighting the Sunday's action was freshman Jade Canady breaking the program's 3-meter diving record not once but twice with point totals of 198.30 in the prelims and 203.03 in the finals.
"The team did a great job on day two," said senior Aleta Jewell. "We kept our energy up and encouraged our teammates to perform to the best of our ability. I am really proud of the teams' accomplishments on the boards and in the water."
Asheville had success throughout the day with eight event victories. The Bulldogs logged the top spot on eight occasions and finished first and second in three contests.
Much like Saturday, the individual events began with a long-distance swim in the 1000-yard freestyle. The tandem of Kylie Johnson (10:57.04) and Jewell (10:57.40) repeated their finishes from a day ago and placed first and second in the field of five swimmers. Johnson was not through as she also logged the top mark in the 500-yard freestyle, clocking in at 5:18.28.
Sophomore Delaney Carlton picked up the next event win for Asheville winning the 200-yard freestyle (1:57.07). Carlton, who also won the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle races yesterday, closed out her weekend with another win in the 100-yard freestyle (52.74), meaning she won each event that she competed in the last two days.
The other event-winning swims for the Bulldogs came from Alexis Walker (100y fly – 58.10), Nora Segurola Larrinaga (100y back – 58.33), and Mikaela Fullerton (100-y breast - 1:07.07). For Fullerton, it marked her Bulldog debut.
Like was mentioned earlier, Canady's attempts led the way for the Bulldog diving team. Canady has set either a new school record or freshman record in each meet she has competed in this season. Senior Megan Almond also set a new personal-best for Asheville notching a point total of 147.45.
Asheville also capped out the weekend by claiming the top time in the 400-yard freestyle relay as the foursome of Bela Stuart, Abby Parks, Jessie Frank, and Carlton clocked in at 3:33.16.
The Bulldogs will be back in the pool next weekend as it hosts Converse next Saturday at the Justice Center Pool at 11 a.m. The meet, which will serve as the team's senior day, can be watched on ESPN+. Additionally, the team's senior diving members will be honored at the Jewish Community Center in Asheville at 4 p.m. Friday.
