Five Records Go Down In Pink Meet

ANNVILLE, Pa. - Bobby Burkhart and Ian Lloyd each set a pair of school records to lead Lebanon Valley in its annual Pink Meet against Arcadia.

Swimming an early-season long-format meet, the Knights won both ends of the meet, 165-95 for the men and 147-108 for the women. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, LVC wore pink caps and raised money for the College's Relay For Life, which will take place in March 2015.

Burkhart broke both of the meter breaststroke records, and Lloyd claimed both butterfly marks, while Kyra Valent led the women's teams with two individual wins in the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyles.

Burkhart swam 1:11.91 in the 100-meter breaststroke to shave two-tenths off his own standard of 1:12.13 set last October, then finished in 2:41.65 to claim the last breaststroke record he didn't own - the 200-meter - by only four-hundreths of a second.

Lloyd and Clay Heeber both attacked the program 200-meter butterfly record of 2:22.16 that had stood since 2005, and Lloyd ended up taking four seconds off of it in 2:17.80 with Heebner in at 2:24.43. Three days after setting the 100-fly mark in his first career meet, Lloyd did it again with a 1:00.59 win, and Heebner had a career-best time of 1:01.82. The men's 200-meter free relay finished the meet off with a record at 1:43.64 with Lloyd, Blade Umstead, David Corvino, and Chris Kurtz in the race; that dropped a full second off the previous best of 1:44.52 set last year.

For the women, Valent won the 200-meter free in 2:22.78, and had the race of the night in the 100 where she charged back from third place at the final turn to win by only two-hundreths of a second in 1:05.45. Lauren Skorupski added an event win in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:24.42).

The women's 200-meter free relay capped the meet with a win at 2:01.43, out-touching Arcadia by two-tenths in a fantastic finish by Valent on the anchor behind Leslie Hiller, Charis Roberts, and Skorupski.
