THURSDAY RESULTS
CANTON, Ohio – Two more school records fell as the Kutztown University women's swimming team continues to put the exclamation point on an outstanding season.
Steph Jeppesen (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) set a new school standard in the 400 individual medley and was a member of the record-setting 400-yard medley relay team.
Â
In finishing 20th in the 400 IM, Jeppesen shattered the mark she established earlier this season against Alaska-Fairbanks. Jeppesen swam 4 four minutes, 33.39 seconds to easily lower the old mark of 4:37.72. This is the second consecutive day that Jeppesen has established a school record. She set a new standard in the 200 IM on Wednesday.
Â
Later in the morning, Jeppesen teamed with
Nikki Hinsdale (Glen Mills, Pa./Bayard Rustin), Alison Sheely and
Jordan Shapiro (Yardville, N.J./Princeton) to place 18th in the 400-yard medley relay in a record-setting time of 3:56.49. That lowered the mark by .37 seconds. The old mark was 3:56.86.

The Golden Bears continue their assault on the Kutztown all-time swimming list and the NCAA championships on Friday and Saturday when the meet continues.
