Lady Bison Post Top Times in Jenks

JENKS – Oklahoma Baptist, ranked ninth by CollegeSwimming, recorded a number of top 10 NCAA Division II times in the Jenks Invitational Friday and Saturday.
 
"Some of our people swam really well, but we could be better," said OBU Coach Sam Freas. "We're taking little steps and improving."
 
Victoria Fonville recorded the top time nationally in the 50 free at 23.48.
 
The 200 freestyle relay team of Fonville, Julie Day, Jamie Edwards and Marizel Van Jaarsveld finished in 1:37.8, which is the fourth-best time this season.
 
Van Jaarsveld had the No. 2 time nationally in the 200 butterfly at 2:07.03 with Juliana Cifuentes getting the No. 6 time. Cifuentes raced at 2:22.07 for the No. 3 time in the 200 breaststroke.
 
Van Jaarsveld also swam a 400 individual medley in the 500 freestyle in 4:28. If that mark is allowed (since it was in the 500 free), it will be the fastest mark in the land by three seconds.
 
OBU is in the Noble Complex pool Thursday at 3 p.m. for their only on-campus event of the fall semester.
