BOCA RATON, FL (January 24, 2009) - Competing for the last time before the Sun Belt Conference Meet, the Florida Atlantic University women's swim and dive team pulled off the victory over Indian River State College (IRCC) in Ft. Pierce.
The
women swept two events to ease a 203-92 win. Ewa Jamborska won the 100
yard breaststroke in 1:07.91 with Kalina Neal (1:09.02) and Whitney
Roper (1:09.67) taking second and third place to complete the sweep.
Jamborska later won the 200 yard breaststroke (2:26.09) with Roper and
Neal in tow again. Lindsey Alexander tallied two
more wins for her senior season, the first in the 200 yard freestyle
(1:54.06) followed by a victory in the 100 yard freestyle (52.69).
Teammate Jennifer Forcht finished third in the 100 yard freestyle
(53.56) and later won the 100 yard butterfly (58.24). Julie Carmigniani
broke the one minute mark for the first time this season in the 100
yard backstroke, stopping the clock in second place with a time of
59.66. In the 400 yard IM both Nicole Samilo (1st, 4:36.07) and Jamborska (2nd, 4:36.77) took huge chunks of time off their seasonal best.
The
men scored 121.5 points to finish second to IRCC. Freshmen Mikolaj
Czarnecki and Csaba Pek combined for four event wins. Czarnecki won the
200 yard freestyle (1:44.01) and the 100 yard butterfly (50.69). Pek
tied for first in the 200 yard breaststroke (2:07.85) but comfortably
won the 400 yard IM (4:04.30). Pek has won 19 races during freshman
season.
Both the men and women will have three weeks to tune-up before the Sun Belt Conference Meet in Nashville , Tennessee on February 19 through February the 21st.
At the 2008 Sun Belt Championships last spring the women finished a
close second to Western Kentucky while the men finished eighth.
