FAIRFAX, Va. - Another school record by the same foursome was one of the highlights of another strong day of competition for American University swimming & diving on day two of George Mason's Patriot Invitational. The Eagles earned three top-five finishes and added a total of 17 new times to the program's all-time top-16 list of personal bests.

Notable Women's Results

• The same foursome who set a school record on night one in the 400 medley relay set another one on night two, this time in the 200 medley relay. Piper Crosby (backstroke), Marin Priddy (breaststroke), Mimi Watts (butterfly), and Lian Jeong Engle (freestyle) posted a second-place time of 1:41.13 which is over a second faster than AU's previous record set this past February.
• AU's "B" team of Amaya Tomma, Grace Netz, Gabby Kaczorowski, and Dylan Moulton also made it onto the top 16 list, going 1:45.45 to rank 12th all-time.
• Isabel McGovern advanced to the A final and earned an impressive second-place finish in the 100 butterfly in 55.49, just short of her PR of 55.15.
• The Eagles had four others advance to finals in the 100 fly, including Tomma whose prelims time of 57.14 was a new PR that improved on her own 14th-fastest in program history.
• Advancing to the C final in the 100 fly were Claire Mosher (PR of 57.73), Kaczorowski, and Rebecca Siegel.
• Freshman Brooke Vos made it on to the top 16 list in the prelims of the 400 IM, and then smashed her time by more than five seconds in the final. She won the B final, finishing ninth overall, with a PR of 4:27.04 that ranks fourth all-time at AU. In the A final, Vos' time would have earned her third place.
• Katie Yoo placed 11th overall in the 400 IM in 4:30.11, short of her own PR but over a three-and-a-half second drop from her prelims time.
• The 400 IM had two other Eagles in the C final, Demetra Bicos with a PR of 4:33.06 (15th all-time) and Claire Mosher with a PR of 4:34.16 (16th all-time).
• Lian Jeong Engle placed fifth in the 200 free prelims in 1:51.81, a new PR that ranks sixth all-time at AU. She took eighth overall in the finals.
• Also making the top 16 list in the 200 free was Lurilla Bereveskos with her ninth-place finish in the prelims in 1:53.56, a PR that ranks 15th all-time. Fiona McMahon advanced to the B final as well and finished with a PR of 1:53.87.

• Making waves in the 100 backstroke was Crosby, who dropped over two and a half seconds off her prelims time to go 54.82 and win the B final. That PR ranks second all-time at AU, and would have won the event had she made it to the A final.
