ORLANDO, Fla., March 13. WHO let the 'Dawgs out?<\/p>\n
Coach Seth Houston's Truman State (MO) Lady Bulldogs, defending NCAA Division II champions, won three races and set three DII records en route to the first-day lead here this evening.<\/p>\n
The meet is underway, along with the concurrent men's championship, at the Central Florida YMCA Pool, otherwise known as the Orlando Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n
Truman State has a 192-155 advantage over runner-up Drury, which won the DII title in 1999 and again the following year.<\/p>\n
Coach Bob Steele's Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners, double-defending men's champs who also won in '98, lead their division by a 119-100 margin over North Dakota. CSUB posted a pair of opening-day first places.<\/p>\n
Not only did Truman State have three first-place finishers tonight, the 'Dawgs established Division II championship records in each event. Freshman Diana Betsworth won the 1000 yard freestyle by more than nine seconds with her 9:55.47 clocking as TSU also had the top four finishers.<\/p>\n
Junior Liz Hug crushed the nine-year-old record in the 200 yard individual medley with her winning 2:02.98. The previous record time was 2:03.25, set in 1993 by former Romanian Olympian Noemi Lung when she was swimming for Florida Atlantic. Truman State also set a championship-record in the 200 yard medley relay with its 1:44.22.<\/p>\n
Drury's Megan Krueger was the other day's winner on the women's side, edging Sara Hatcher of Truman State in the 50 freestyle.<\/p>\n
Junior Vlasta Burda of CSUB, who was a triple gold-medalist at last year's meet with wins in the 500-1000-1650 frees (plus a silver in the 200 free), picked up where he left off this evening by obliterating his own 1000 championship-record with a 9:02.51.<\/p>\n
He finished more than 14 seconds faster than his old mark of 9:16.67 that he established last season. Rodrigo Cintra of North Dakota pushed Burda throughout and finished in an excellent pr of 9:03.89.<\/p>\n
Bakersfield's Jacob Fraire, second last season in the 200 fly, was more than two seconds faster than his closest competitor in the 200 IM via his winning 1:49.00. Last year's winning time was 1:49.40 by Indianapolis' Orel Oral.<\/p>\n
Ben Michaelson of Southern Connecticut State, last season's most valuable swimmer for his wins in the 100-200 flys plus his runner-up finish in the 200 IM (with a DII record 47.77 in the shorter fly race), won the 50 freestyle in 20.11. North Dakota stayed within reach of Bakersfield by winning the 200 medley relay in 1:31.02.<\/p>\n
The championship continues today with the second day of action.<\/p>\n
