OXFORD, Ohio – The Big Green had another record setting day at the Miami of OH Invite, led once again by a school record from Jamie Legh.

The A 200 Medley Relay (Maria Uranga, Kathy Jia, Jamie Legh, Sam Li) opened the meet with the fifth fastest program time in history, 1:42.35, aided by a lifetime best relay split in the 50 fly from Jamie Legh. In the C-relay Sophie Weiner (50 back) and Xzana Duranovich (50 breast) also set new lifetime bests splits.

The first individual event of the meet, 100 Butterfly, saw Maddie Blackwell, Sam Li, and Jamie Legh all set lifetime best times in prelims. Jamie's time of 53.99 was a new school record but it wouldn't last for long. In the finals session, she won the event in 53.65 to once again reset the program record. Lindsey Drumm had a huge time drop in the B-final heat moving up from a 13th seed to a 9th place finish.

Maggie Lambdin and Klara Johnnson Stjernstom led the way on the women's one-meter finishing 2^nd and 3^rd respectively. Maggie scored 256.45 and Klara scored 254.45. Chiara Lopach, Alexa Kalish, and Alyssa Palacios also finished in the top-8 A-final.

The women's 400 IM saw strong B-final swims from Carly Joerin and Hayden Barry. Ekin Okudur set new lifetime bests in the 200 free and 100 back, while Xzana Duranovich set a new personal best in the 100 breast. In the 100 breast finals Kathy Jia jumped up from an 8th place seed to finish 5th overall with a 1:03.36. The session finished with solid 800 free relay performances.

Only one more day of competition remains for Saturday December 7th.
