ANNVILLE, Pa. -
Lebanon Valley broke three program records, including a pair by #Kristen Zartman#, as they split with Messiah on Senior Day Saturday.

The women won 124.5-79.5, while Messiah won the men's meet 141-51 in what was the final tune-up for both squads before MAC Championships in two weeks' time. The men and women both finish with 6-6 records, the first time in program history they've both been .500 or better in a season, and the best finish ever for the women.

During the meet, LVC honored its 11-member Class of 2010 for their contributions to the program: #Lisa Boyko#, #Alyse Canciello#, #Rebecca Edwards#, #Hillary Forsythe#, #Allison Hunt#, #Laurel Klappholz#, #Shannon Neifert#, #Lisa Niethamer#, #Kelsey Shoupe#, and #Melanie Tober# for the women, and #John Schoenberger# for the men.

The meet was highlighted by the men's 400-meter medley relay of #Jeff Bush#, #John Heenan#, #Tony Shipkowski#, and Schoenberger, who broke a 15 year-old program record with a 4:27.88 time, topping the 4:31.78 mark set in 1995.

And, for the third time in a week, Zartman reset her own 200-free record, shaving two-hundreths off with an event win in 2:21.14, then followed it up with a 5:04.60 win in the 400-free to take three seconds off her record in that event.

The Dutchmen racked up a number of event wins, including:

- #Ryan Humphries# and #Patrick Barry# were 1-2 in the 800 free in 10:15.29 and 10:47.95, respectively.
- Niethamer won the 50-free in 29.77, then captured the 100 back in 1:16.15.
- Kris Roaten won the 800-free in 10:45.50.
- #Ashten O'Brien# finished first in the 200-IM in 2:45.75
- #Ally Birli# and Messiah's Molly Handley touched simultaneously in the 100-fly, both clocking 1:14.77 to share first place.
- #Mary Gardner# (1:07.04), #Charlie Robinson# (1:07.13), and #Alyson Reitmeyer# (1:09.28) went 1-2-3 in the 100-free.
- The women's 200-free relay of Robinson, Zartman, Gardner, and Niethamer won in 2:02.76.
