DAY THREE RESULTS
Â
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville swimming & diving team finished up competing at the Fall Frenzy Invitational on Sunday. Asheville finished third at the Invitational with a point total of 1,369.5 over the course of the three days.
Â
"We've learned a lot, faced adversity and finished strong," said UNC Asheville Head Coach Elizabeth Lykins. "We executed planned race strategies, competed as a team and supported each other better today than anything previous. It's been an exciting meet and will help us prepare for conference championships even better."
Morning Session – Asheville kicked off its final day in Charlotte with several stellar swims during the morning session. 18 Bulldogs advanced to the final session later on Sunday, 22 had season-best performances, two lifetime-best swims along with one school record as well.
Â
The first event of the morning was the 200-yard backstroke. Five Bulldogs swam in the event and each of them logged season-best times. Leading the charge was Nora Segurola Larrinaga who posted the third-fastest time in the prelims (1:59.46).
Â
Asheville did more of the same in the prelims of the 100-yard fly. Nine Bulldogs took part in the event and each of them set a new season-best time. A trio of Bulldogs in Delaney Carlton (3rd- 50.40), Abby Parks (4th – 50.54), and Anna Marcotti (7th – 51.44) all were among the top 10 prelim times. Additionally, Marcotti and her time of 51.44 was a new lifetime best time for her in that event.
Â
In the 200-yard breaststroke, the Bulldogs had four more swimmers log season-best performances. Mikaela Fullerton (7th – 2:19.9) and Beatrice Coconcelli (8th – 2:22.10) both swam fast enough to qualify for the 'A' final.
Â
Finally, in the 200-yard fly sophomore Riley Edmundson continued her stellar weekend by setting a new school record in as many days with a time of 2:01.1. Edmundson has now broken the school records in the 200-yard fly, 400-yard IM, and 200-yard IM this weekend.
Â
Evening Session – In the final session of the weekend, the Bulldogs continued to rack up the points. Caitlin Hefner led the way for Asheville in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 16:51.69 that placed her fourth.
Â
The 200-yard backstroke was up next and Segurola bettered her morning time down to 1:58.99, which set a new school record.
Â
In perhaps the best event for Asheville on the day, three Bulldogs finished among the top six swimmers. Carlton was third (50.69), Parks was fourth (50.74), and Marcotti placed sixth (51.70).
Â
Edmundson finished up her stellar weekend with a podium finish in the 200-yard fly (2:01.71). Asheville finished up the weekend with another podium nod in the 400-yard relay as the foursome of Marcotti, Jessie Frank, Parks, and Carlton finished second with a time of 3:23.09.
Â
Next Up – The Bulldogs will be back in action at the CSCAA Open Water Championships on December 18 from Miami, Florida.
