WEDNESDAY (February 12, 2014)

The Ursuline College swimming and diving program demonstrated tremendous progress on Wednesday (Feb. 12) morning at the SPIRE Institute, where the GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships will be taking place over the next four days.

No Arrow qualified for the finals in an individual event, but fast times were coming in all over the place.

Freshman Rachael Fogel swam a 2:16.93 in the 200 IM, a huge drop from her seed time of 2:25.78. That showing beat eight other swimmers on Wednesday and established a new Ursuline College school record.

Fogel's classmate Hannah Jorz needed 12:20.88 to swim the 1,000 free – more than 25 seconds quicker than her 12:46.08 seed time.

In the 50 free, seniors Allie Butta and Lauren Sharnsky both came in under their best times. Butta swam a 27.44 and Sharnsky covered the distance in 28.73.

The GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships will run through Saturday (Feb. 15). On Thursday (Feb. 13), Butta, Jorz and Sharnsky will all be competing in the 200 free and Fogel will partake in the 100 fly. Those four student-athletes will also get together to race in the 200 free relay.

One school record fell on day two of the GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships, held at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

In the 200 free, senior Allie Butta set a personal record with a time of 2:08.04 – a huge improvement from her 2:19.05 seed time.

Freshman Hannah Jorz improved her top 200 free time by half a second and came in at 2:13.79 while senior Lauren Sharnsky's 2:18.74 seed time dropped to a 2:14.96 on Thursday.

In the 200 free relay, UC came in ninth of 10 teams. Fogel swam first with a split of 26.1 before giving way to Jorz (28.58). Sharnsky swam her leg in 27.84 and Butta finished with a 26.73 over the final 50 yards.

FRIDAY (February 14, 2014)

The theme from the first two days at the GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships continued on Friday: improvement. All four Ursuline swimmers came in quicker than their seed times on day number three.

In the 500 free, senior Lauren Sharnsky entered with a seed time of 6:18.55 and came out with a 5:58.22. She finished one spot ahead of freshman Hannah Jorz who chipped almost 14 seconds off her previous best time with a 6:01.44.

Senior Allie Butta swam the 100 breaststroke in 1:09.97 – an improvement from her previous top time of 1:14.01. She missed the school record by eight tenths of a second. Freshman Rachael Fogel's 1:10.53 was almost five seconds quicker than her 1:15.42 seed time.

The GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships will conclude on Saturday (Feb. 15). Fogel and Sharnsky will swim in the 100 free and Butta will compete in the 200 breaststroke while Jorz finishes with the 1,650 free. Those four student-athletes will also team together in the 400 free relay.
 
SATURDAY (February 15, 2014)

The Ursuline College swimming team finished its season in fine fashion with two more school records falling on the fourth and final day of the GLIAC Swimming and Diving Championships.

Senior Allie Butta swam a 2:36.68 in the 200 breaststroke to break her own school record (2:38.29) and improve her best time of the season by more than six seconds.

Freshman Rachael Fogel's 56.54 in the 100 free also established a new program top time and was quicker than 15 competitors on Saturday. Four seconds after Fogel was senior Lauren Sharnsky (1:00.54). The senior from Copley High School entered the weekend with a seed time of 1:05.07 so she shaved 4.53 seconds off that performance.

Rookie Hannah Jorz covered the 1,650 free in 20:38 – a huge improvement from her seed time of 21:23.89.

Ursuline's quartet closed the season by taking ninth (3:57.09) in the 400 free relay. Fogel went first and swam her leg in 56.53 seconds. After a 1:01.64 split from Jorz, Sharnsky turned in a 1:00.28. Butta closed with a 58.64 to help the Arrows out-touch Tiffin by more than 30 seconds.
