GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - A total of 10 school records were broken by Phoenix
swimmers and divers at the 2011 Horizon League Championships in Cleveland last
week, as the Green Bay women captured their seventh consecutive conference
crown and the men earned a fifth-place finish. Seven school standards were
snapped on the women's side, including one Horizon League mark, while the men
saw three records fall.
Women's
senior Alyssa Danielson (Rogers,
Minn.) walked away with three school records to her name following the four
days in Cleveland, as well as a Horizon League record.
Danielson
won the 50-yard freestyle with a school and conference record time of 22.90. The
senior also set Green Bay's all-time best mark in the 100-yard freestyle
(50.38), breaking Christine Spading's record (50.84) from the 2009 championship
meet. In addition, Danielson teamed up with Shannon Demrow (Algonquin, Ill.), Emilee Harry (Sheboygan, Wis.) and Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) to break the 200-yard freestyle relay
record in 1:32.49. The quartet edged the 2009 record of 1:32.59 for a
second-place finish.
Senior
Deanna DeGrand (Green Bay, Wis.) set
a pair of records, winning the 1000-yard freestyle and placing third in the
500-yard freestyle. DeGrand's 1000 time of 10:09.99 broke her own 2010 record
of 10:11.96, and her 500 time of 4:56.59 beat Melissa Killpatrick's 2010 mark
of 4:59.16.
Jason Askew (Durban, South Africa) was a dual record-breaker in
Cleveland for the Phoenix men, finishing the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke
events faster than anyone in Green Bay history. The senior won the 100 in
55.11, beating his own time of 56.80. He then placed second in the 200 with a
