Three UK Records Broken on SEC Championships Opening Day
The Kentucky swimming and diving team opened the 2015 SEC Championships in a big way Tuesday, with three school records and a pair of diving finalists on the first day of competition in Auburn, Ala. In the six events on the meet's opening day, UK notched four top-eight finishes, with senior Christa Cabot and redshirt sophomore Rebecca Hamperian advancing to the 3-meter diving finals and finishing sixth and eighth, respectively. The Wildcats placed fifth and eighth respectively in the women's and men's 800 freestyle relay events, both with school-record times. Senior Christina Bechtel's lead-off time of 1:46.39 in the 800 freestyle also is a new school record in the 200 freestyle.
