ROCHESTER, Mich. -- The South Dakota State University women's swimmers set their third relay school record and Heather Youngberg set a new mark in the 200-yard freestyle during competition Friday at the National Independent Conference Championships.
The Jackrabbits closed Friday's evening session with a school record in the 400 medley relay. The SDSU team of Mariah Pavlicek, Kim Iverson, Chelsea Colborn and Youngberg clocked a time of 4:06.61, nearly five seconds better than the previous record set last season. SDSU also has posted record times in the 800 freestyle and 200 medley relays during the championships.
A freshman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Youngberg lowered her record time in the 200 freestyle to 2:00.93 in Friday morning's preliminaries, improving by .02 seconds from her record time set Wednesday as she led off the Jackrabbits' record-setting 800 freestyle relay. Youngberg placed 11th in the consolation finals Friday night with a time of 2:01.22.
Freshman Catie Coursen was the top individual finisher for SDSU on Friday, placing fourth in the 400 individual medley in a time of 5:26.74.
Sophomore Mariah Pavlicek qualified for the finals of the 100 backstroke, finishing seventh with a season-best time of 1:00.59.
Chelsea Colborn and Jane Tschetter added ninth-place finishes. Colborn turned in a season-best time of 1:01.18 in the 100 butterfly, while Tschetter posted a time of 1:13.68 in the 100 breaststroke. Teammate Kim Iverson was 10th in the 100 breaststroke in 1:13.99, after posting a season-best mark of 1:13.25 in the prelims.
Host Oakland University maintained its team lead with 698 points. North Florida is second with 590 points, followed by SDSU at 287.
In men's action Friday, Adam Pick turned in the highest finish by a Jackrabbit with a sixth-place effort in the 100 backstroke. A senior from Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, Pick posted a season-best time of 58.93 seconds. Jason Kassa was seventh in :59.78.
Two other Jackrabbits collected top-10 finishes: newcomer Wayne Schafer with a season-best time of 52.90 seconds in the 100 butterfly to place 10th, and Brandon Maydew in the 100 breaststroke with a 10th-place time of 1:02.38.
Justin Manning matched his season-best time from the preliminaries of 1:48.73 in the finals to place 11th in the 200 freestyle.
