Women’s 400 Medley Relay
NCAA Record: 3:40.13 – Oberholzer, Kaestner, Saiz, Towsend (Kenyon, 2013)
2016 Champion: 3:42.76 – Cheng, Kowalsky, Sanchez – Aizcorbe, Bergh (Emory)
Emory’s team of Cindy Cheng, Annelise Kowalsky, Marcela Sanchez-Aizcorbe and Fiona Muir broke the NCAA D-3 record in this event.
Cheng started off with a 54.24 leadoff giving Kowalsky about a half second advantage over Williams’ Caroline White. The breaststroke splits between these two team were nearly identical, but nobody in the field could out-split Emma Waddell in the fly at 53.15. But Muir was too much for Lauren Jones to handle as she split an incredible 49.05 to bring it home for the Eagles.
Williams’ final time was nearly under the previous record mark as well, but the Ephs came up just short in the end. Kenyon was third in 3:43.47 including a great 49.77 anchor leg from Orbach-Mandel.
Once again, NYU was disqualified in the championship final. This is the team’s third in two days.
