– The Eastern Michigan University women's swimming and diving team finished in second place at the EMU Invitational for the seventh straight season thanks to eight top-three finishes and a stellar outing by junior Sarah Kowalski at the Michael H. Jones Natatorium Saturday evening, Dec. 5.

The University of Michigan took the seven-team invitational with a score of 1,123, followed by the Eagles (816), Toledo (796), Wayne State (640), Waterloo (129), Findlay (128) and Oakland (53). It was Michigan's seventh straight EMU Invite title.

Eastern Michigan's Kowalski recorded the lone win for the Eagles during the two-day annual event. The junior secured a win in the 100-yard freestyle, touching the wall in 51.06 with teammate Steph Cholyk not far behind coming in third.

Danielle Hulvey represented the Eagles well on the diving boards by recorded two top-three finishes. The freshman dove to a second place finish in the three-meter with 570.60 points and was one of five divers that surpassed the old pool record which is now held by Michigan's Steph O'Callaghan (581.30). Hulvey also finished third in the one meter with 553.10 points and was one of 11 divers to set pool or and/or meet records.

Someone who also knew a little something about setting records was O'Callaghan's teammate, Margaret Kelly, who swam to two pool/meet records. The senior won an impressive six events during the two-day meet. Her time of 1:59.19 in the 200-yard butterfly set a pool record while her 200-yard IM time of 2:02.11 was a new meet mark. She also added wins in the 50-yard freestyle, 200-, 400- and 800-yard freestyle relays, as well as the 200-yard medley relay.

Another meet mark set was by Laura Lindsay of Toledo in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:03.97.

The Eagles will have off until Jan. 2, 2010 when they travel to Miami, Fla. for the FIU Invitational.
