CONWAY, Ark. - After a stellar day Friday by taking second in the Hendrix Classic, the UALR swim team followed that performance with a third-place finish with 358 points Saturday (Oct. 27) at the Hendrix Relays. Oklahoma Baptist claimed the title with 488 points while Henderson State finished second with 375.

"After finishing second yesterday, we had a bit of a tougher day," head coach Amy Burgess said. "But [diver Megan] Scott did follow up her strong day yesterday with a pair of titles in the 1- and 3-meter diving exhibitions."

While no relay team claimed a win, UALR turned in seven runner-up finishes. In traditional college relay events, junior Holly Myers and freshmen Amber Kelly, Natalie Swindle and Valeriya Teplova finished the 400 medley in 4:08.00. Holly Myers, Teplova, senior Amber Kelly and junior Kara Raney took second in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:38.76.

Both times were season bests for the Trojans.

UALR swept the second-place finishes in the entire 3x100 relays in the different strokes. Sophomores Meghan Petersen and Alexis Stone teamed up with Teplova in the breastroke with a time of 3:39.42. Senior Rebecca McEachern, Holly Myers and Raney clocked in at 3:05.85 in the backstroke while Swindle, McEachern and senior Amy Tran finished in 3:03.92 in the butterfly.

To round out the day, junior Hope Myers, Kelly and Petersen claimed second in the 3x100 IM with a time of 3:17.67. UALR took second and third in the 3x500. Kelly, Stone and Holly Myers finished runner-up with a time of 16:20.67 with Swindle, Hope Myers and sophomore Samantha Thompson close behind with a time of 16:32.19.
