MECHANICSBURG - Senior Christine Swiker broke her own school record in the 400 IM twice, swimming a time of 4:37.88 to finish fifth in the finals, and junior Sarah Roscioli lowered her record in the 100 breast in the morning prelims for East Stroudsburg University at the 2010 PSAC Championships on Saturday at Cumberland Valley High School.

Swiker swam a time of 4:38.55 in the prelims and bettered that in the finals to lower her record from 4:39.19 which she set at last year's PSAC Championships. She broke the 200 IM record (2:09.20) on Friday morning and finished fifth in the finals, and will look for her second straight appearance in the championship finals of the 200 fly on Sunday. Her times in the 200 IM and 400 IM both meet the NCAA "B" standard.

Roscioli's time of 1:07.99 bettered her mark of 1:08.16 from her sophomore year. She was 10th in the prelims but false started in the finals.

The 200 medley relay finished two-hundredths of a second off the school record of 1:51.75 that was set in 1978. Freshman Sami Vavra, Roscioli, freshman Tara Robinson and freshman Kimberly Lawson turned in a time of 1:51.73 and were 11th.

Swiker, Roscioli, Lawson and Robinson all swam on the school record-setting 400 medley relay team on Friday, breaking the six-year old record with a time of 4:05.62.

Swiker, freshman Ana Osowski, junior Amy Rowland and freshman Rose Mascoli were 11th in the 800 free relay in 8:10.05.
