Pavlik also led the victorious 200-breaststroke grouping that touched the wall in 2:20.91. He was joined in the event by three freshmen as Michael Marando, Zach Wheatley, and Tyler Szarko rounded out the stellar squad.<\/p>\n
On the women's side, Raw served as the anchor on the top freestyle relay squad and swam the lead leg on the medley and backstroke teams. In the medley, she guided the foursome of Hannah Facchine, Megan Huber, and MaryKathryn Harris to a time of 2:12.03 before teaming with Kristen McBrien, Jena Marrinucci, and Alexandra Brown to take the backstroke in 2:22.22.<\/p>\n
