Two More Records Fall as Women's Swimming Leads After Day 2 at Big Al

PRINCETON, N.J. – The University of Pennsylvania women's swimming & diving team collected four more individual wins and broke two more program records on Friday in the second day of the Big Al Invitational. The three-day event concludes tomorrow at Princeton's DeNunzio Pool.
 
As a team, Penn is tops among the five teams competing in the event with 1,054 points. Host Princeton is second with 826.50 points, followed by Cornell with 455.50.
 
The quartet of Amy Qin, Kate Handley, Maggie Hu and Kayla Fu got the night started with a program record in the 200 medley relay and the Quakers took off from there. Later on, Kate Levensten became the first Penn swimmer to go under 53 seconds in the 100 backstroke with a 52.77 prelim on Friday morning and a 52.87 final in the night session as she won that event.
 
Penn's other wins came in the 100 butterfly, where Fu clocked 53.12 seconds; the 200 freestyle, Anna Moehn leading a parade of Quakers in 1:47.80; and the 100 breast where Kate Handley (1:02.16) and Meredith Holcomb (1:02.52) went 1-2. In the 200 free, Penn posted three of the top four scores and had six women in the A final, while five Red and Blue women raced in the A final in the 100 back.
