AUBURN, Ala. – In the team's final meet before the Southeastern Conference championships Feb. 18-23, the Auburn men's and women's swim teams posted season-high times here Saturday at the Orange and Blue Classic. <\/p>\n
"The purpose of this meet is different than most meets during the season," head coach David Marsh said. "This is for more of a personal preparation for the upcoming championships and I think that these swims really set us up well for the SEC Championships."<\/p>\n
On the women's side, sophomore Heather Kemp improved her season-best time in the 50 freestyle to 23.85 and freshman Kirsty Coventry swam to a 1:49.49 in the 200 free, which is nearly two seconds faster than her previous best. <\/p>\n
Sophomore Jeremy Knowles for the Tiger men had three impressive swims including earning his season-best times in the 1000 free (9:22.62), 200 fly (1:50.15) and the 400 individual medley (3:59.09). Freshman Ryan Wochomurka also had a fast day in the pool with a 20.39 in the 50 free.<\/p>\n
"Jeremy Knowles had an outstanding day and Ryan Wochomurka is really fine-tuning his swimming," Marsh said. "For the women, Magda Dyszkiewicz is really starting to turn things around after a rough start to the season and I think that Kellie West had some outstanding swims today."<\/p>\n
The Tiger swimmers will begin SEC Championship competition Feb. 20-23 while the divers will compete Feb. 18-20 in Fayetteville, Ark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
