YORK - Sophomore Kate Zimmerman made the championship final and finished eighth in the 100 breast to pace East Stroudsburg University on the third day of the PSAC Swimming Championships on Saturday at the York YMCA.

Three Warriors made consolation finals on Saturday with senior Sophie Coy 12th in the 100 breast, senior Ashleigh Podhayny 13th in the 100 back and sophomore Allison Cardow 14th in the 200 fly.

ESU stands ninth of 12 schools entering the final day of competition on Sunday.

Zimmerman made her first career championship final with a time of 1:06.83 in the 100 breast prelims, which she improved to 1:06.41 - second-fastest in school history - in the final. Her previous PR was 1:07.05 as a freshman, and she was the No. 13 seed entering the event in 1:07.43.

Coy, seeded 18th, finished 12th in both the prelims (1:07.60) and consolation final (1:07.27).  She had a season best of 1:08.25 entering the weekend.

Podhayny made her third consolation final of the weekend in the 100 back, swimming 59.77 in the prelims and improving to 59.65 in the final. She placed ninth in both the 200 IM and 400 IM.

Cardow made her first consolation final, swimming a significant PR in the 200 fly. She was 14th in both the prelims (2:12.86) and final (2:12.9), almost four seconds better than her previous PR (2:16.54) entering the weekend.

Cardow's 2:12.86 in the prelims was one-tenth of a second off the school record (2:12.76) set by Allison Schafer in 2014.
