Emory University, the defending champions, both hold leads after day 1 of the 2016 UAA championships. On the women’s side, the Eagles have a sizable lead ahead of Chicago, Wash U, and NYU, who are all within reach of each other. On the men’s side, Wash U is right in the hunt, with Chicago and NYU trailing.
The competitors have already taken a large chunk out of the meet record book: 5 out of 10 total events swum this evening saw new records. Both the 500 and 50 freestyle record were reset by Emory women, while Emory also improved on their 200 freestyle relay record from this morning. On the men’s side, Chicago established a new record in the 200 freestyle relay, with Thomas Meek also setting a new 50 freestyle mark later in the evening after splitting a monster 19.40 in the relay.
In the women’s 200 freestyle relay finals, Emory once again dropped their meet record from prelims (1:33.50) to a new mark of 1:33.19. The quartet of Fiona Muir (Fr), Meg Taylor (Fr), Marcela Sanchez-Aizcorbe (Jr), and Claire Liu (Jr) led from start to finish. Rounding out top three were NYU (1:34.83) and Wash U (1:35.10).
