ST. CHARLES, Mo. - Olivia Herron set a new school record in the 100 breaststroke on Friday against Lindenwood and Missouri. Herron set the new fastest time at 1:01.09 breaking the current record which was set by Mima Zaborska at 1:01.15.

"Olivia Herron continued her strong fall campaign with a lifetime best and program record in the 100 Breaststroke. Any time a performance exceeds anything that has ever been done here it is very special!" head coach Geoff Hanson said.

The women's team finished with a split, beating Lindenwood 211-88 but falling to Missouri 188-108. Celia Pulido had two individual first place finishes in the 100 and 200 backstroke. Olivia Herron had two individual first place finishes as well, in the 100 and 200 breaststroke.

The men's team fell to Lindenwood 136.50-160.50 and Missouri 171.50-117.50. " While it was disappointing for the men to come away with two team losses, there are many positives to take away," said Hanson. Alex Santiago , Alex Cimera , Nicolas Lanuza and Donat Csuvarszki were victorious in the men's 200 freestyle relay. Donat Csuvarszki had another first place finish in the men's 50 freestyle.

On the diving side Farida Moussa placed second in the women's 1M dive with a score of 217.95. She also placed second in the 3M dive with a score of 248.40.

"Overall a solid day for both teams as we look forward to our home mid-season invitational next week.. The Saluki women continued to perform at a high level despite splitting the day with Lindenwood and Mizzou" Hanson said.

The Salukis will be back home in Shea Natatorium Nov. 9-11 as they host the A3 Performance Invitational.
