Columbia, Mo. - In a span of two hours, four Missouri swimmers were able to set personal bests and move themselves either into or up Missouri's all-time top-five time's list.
Leading off the women's 800 freestyle 'A' relay, senior Lizza Igoe set a personal best in her 200 yard section of the relay. Igoe's time of 1:51.45 moves her into fourth on the top-five list ahead of teammate and relay partner Lindsay Palbykin. As a whole, the relay team of Igoe, Palbykin, Lindsay Kraus and Andrea Nigh is now listed third in the all-time top-five times.
Following Igoe's example, junior Megan Morford led the 800 freestyle 'B' relay team with her own personal best in the 200 freestyle with the time of 1:56.44.
The women's 200 medley relay team of Sarah Lo, Ellen Borgo, Liz Schoborg and Andrea Nigh is now listed second in the top-five times with their final time of 1:43.82.
Leading off the men's 800 freestyle 'A' relay, freshman Jason Lyons' time of 1:39.56 is a personal best and ranks him fifth in Missouri's all-time top-five times. In the men's 800 freestyle 'B' relay, sophomore Dan Buhr set a new personal best in the 200 freestyle with his time of 1:43.47.
