Arnold Sets 1,650 Freestyle Record at Crimson Hawk Invite

    Indiana, Pa. -- Junior Olivia Arnold broke the school record in the 1,650-yard freestyle on the final day of the Crimson Hawk Invitational to cap a solid three-day meet for Youngstown State.
    Arnold swam a first-place time of 17:48.69 to break Jordan Dunn's previous record by just under eight seconds. Arnold's win was one of three individual wins for YSU at the invitational.
    Ashley Williamson won the 200 back (2:08.58) and Brittany Senn added a win in the 50 free (24.67). The pair also teamed up with Julia Darling and Megan Rupe to win the 400 medley relay with a time of 4:05.13, which is the third-fastest in school history.
    Senn's winning time in the 50 free was a personal-best and ranks her third in school history.
    Arnold added second-place finishes in the 500 free (5:16.33) and the 400 IM (4:46.39) and a third-place showing in the 200 breast (2:35.14).
    Williamson had a team-high four top-three individual finishes. She placed second in the 100 back (1:00.49) and the 100 fly (59.74), and she added a third-place effort in the 200 IM (2:14.51). The freshman now ranks second in school history in the 200 IM and third in the 100 fly.
    Rupe was third in the 200 free (1:57.22) and the 500 free (5:17.96), and Senn turned in a fourth-place finish in the 100 free (55.51). Rupe's 200 and 500 free times were collegiate-bests, and she now ranks fourth all-time in both events. It was the first time she swam the 500 free competitively in her collegiate career.
    Natasha Bray added a fourth-place finish in the 400 IM (4:52.53).
    As a group, the team posted 15 new entries to the school's top-10 all-time performers list.
    The Penguins finished third behind IUP and Saint Francis with 613.5 points. Lock Haven placed fourth, Mount St. Mary's was fifth and Slippery Rock was sixth.
    YSU will not compete for the rest of the fall semester. The team's next meet will be during its winter training trip in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., from Jan. 1 to Jan. 10.
