OXFORD, Ohio, March 15. IN addition to Shane Pelton's athlete blog on the Division II Championships, another swimmer will be keeping tabs on the Women's Division III Championships through an athlete blog for Swimming World<\/i>. Katie Mroz from Emory University will be checking in with regular content from the meet <\/p>\n
Mroz is a freshman swimmer at Emory University. Mroz, who hails from Libertyville, Ill., enters her first National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Championship meet after placing first as a member of the Emory 800 freestyle relay at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships. In addition, Mroz will compete in the 500 freestyle, the 200 freestyle and the 200 breaststroke at this year's NCAA Championships. <\/p>\n
There are a few things I know I will always remember about the 2008 Nationals. Kendra Stern breaking the meet record in the 200 free with a 1:47.19 and her sister, Meaghan, taking second. As the duo walked back to the Amherst area from the warm down pool, other swimmers and coaches applauded them and their accomplishments thus far in the meet. I will also forever remember Brittany Sasser dominating in the 100 back breaking not only the meet record but the pool record as well. She finished with an outstanding time of 53.85. <\/p>\n
As of this morning, ELEVEN meet records have fallen. It has been insane! I stand at the end of the pool in awe of the girls swimming. Everyone in the aquatic center can't help but cheer for them. Tonight, I have a feeling that a few more records will crumble due to the intensity in the pool. <\/p>\n
The 1,650 will kick off tonight's events. I find the mile to be the most mysterious of all events. It is an interesting game for the swimmers who put the most yardage throughout the season. After a weekend of shorter races, it's time for the "murder swans" to take to the pool and show the world what they are made of. The winner of the mile is the girl who is tough enough and can push their body to limit the longest. Good luck to all of those brave souls!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
