The H2Okie women were in College Station, Texas, for the NCAA Championships. While California won it with an overall score of 411.5, Tech finished in 34th place.
Sara Smith swam well for the H2Okies, posting a 22.12 time in the 50-meter freestyle and finished the 100 free with a time of 48.52, good for 11th and 20th place, respectively.
Supporting Smith was standout freshman Erika Hajnal, who impressed in her first NCAA Championships showing. Hajnal set a new record in the 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4:11.74. She shattered her own record by nearly two seconds.
The women's relay teams held their own as well. The relay team of Smith, Jordan McHorney, Medan Newell and Steffi Drechsel posted a time of 1:29.88 in the 200-meter freestyle relay, nearly breaking its top conference mark.
The same group also swam the 400 free relay and tallied a 15th place showing in the event finals.
