Russell leads Golden Bears with top 10 mark at Ursinus

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Maggie Russell (Downingtown, Pa./Woodlynde School) bettered her previous time in the 100 Fly to move up into eighth all-time in program history to highlight Kutztown women's swimming at Ursinus Saturday afternoon in a non-conference meet at William Elliott Pool.
 
Russell saw a 59.05, also a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference qualifying standard. Along with Russell, Julia Kopcho (Pemberton, N.J./Camden Catholic), Phoebe Armes (Somerset, UK/Millfield School), Sarah Zeminski (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) and Birta Smaradottir (Mosfellsbær, Iceland/Commercial College of Iceland) all posted PSAC cut times on the day. Kopcho led the way with three PSAC marks in the 200, 500 and 1000 Free. Armes, Zeminski and Russell all tallied two standards.
 
The Golden Bears finished first in four different individual events, with Kopcho and Zeminski each winning two. The 400 Medley Relay team, consisting of Sara Bing (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North), Armes, Zeminski and Russell also touched the wall first in a time of 4:06.41.
 
Next up for Kutztown is the big annual, three-day Franklin & Marshall Invitational in Lancaster, running from Friday, Nov. 20, through Sunday, Nov. 22. Day one prelims on Friday begin at 10 a.m., with the finals set for 6 p.m.
