RESULTS
 
YORK, Pa. – Gracie McKee (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) was at it again. On Thursday evening, the junior one-upped herself and broke her own program record in the 100 butterfly that she set back in Nov., as Kutztown University women's swimming is through the halfway point at Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championships at the Graham Aquatic Center in York.
 
After qualifying for the 'B' final by placing 10th in the prelim with a time of 58.55, McKee found another gear in the evening session, touching the wall at 57.54 and winning the final, finishing ninth overall out of 46 competitors.
 
Jocelyn Seidt (Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) had a personal-best time of 1:04.02 in the event. Ainsley Fischer (Newark, Del./Delaware Military Academy) also competed in the 200 free prelim and earned a PR of 2:05.16. Keelie Walker (York, Pa./York Suburban) and Jade Ware (Easton, Pa./Wilson Area) swam in a 50 free time trial in the morning session.
 
The Golden Bears featured two relay teams Thursday night. Walker, Emmarose DeCaro (Apex, N.C./Apex), Fischer and Ware swam in the 200 free relay and Seidt, Ware, McKee and Walker posted a season-best mark of 4:03.85 in the 400 medley relay.
 
Day three on Friday is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., with preliminary action. KU will have McKee and Seidt in the 100 backstroke and Walker and Ware in the 100 breaststroke.
