FORT WORTH, Texas, February 5. ASHLEY Bolin packed in three event wins Wednesday, leading the TCU women's swimming and diving team past North Texas by a score of 158-130. The Frogs commanded 10 of the 16 events on the day, including the 200-medley relay.<\/p>\n
The women conclude the regular season with an 8-3-1 record, including a 4-3-1 clip against the Mountain West Conference. <\/p>\n
"It was a big win for us," TCU head coach Richard Sybesma said. "To finish the regular season with an 8-3-1 record is good in anybody's book. That is a respectable year for this program."<\/p>\n
Bolin claimed her fourth 200-free medal of the year, swimming her fastest winning time of 1:52.22, before earning her fifth 100-free victory of 2008-09, pacing the field at 52.89. The Oshkosh, Wis., native outlasted teammate Cheryl Townsend in the 400-IM with a time of 4:30.75 and her 17th overall win of the season. The newcomer also anchored the Frogs' lone relay win, rounding out the 200-medley relay along with Brittney Martinez, Ellie Bradley and Stephanie Futscher at 1:49.30.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Maria Paula Alvarez ended her regular season with a pair of wins, clinching the 500-free (5:05.71) and 1000-free (10:15.47) for the fifth-straight meet. The Cali, Colombia product has yet to lose in either event this spring and hasn't dropped in the 500-free since Oct. 30.<\/p>\n
Other Frogs to record victories against the Mean Green include Martinez and Futscher. Martinez, a sophomore from Englewood, Colo., took her fourth-straight 100-back title at 58.36, while Futscher topped the pool in the 200-fly for the fourth-consecutive meet and fifth of the year at 2:05.00. <\/p>\n
TCU also swept the breaststroke events, as senior Katie Rosen claimed the 200-breast (2:25.36) and Bradley registered her second 100-breast win (1:07.23), topping Rosen by .67.<\/p>\n
The women's squad will now prepare for the MWC Championships, beginning on Feb. 25. The men will conclude their regular season at Incarnate Word this Saturday in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
