En route to victory last week at the Crimson's scrimmage against Northeastern, Chock erased sophomore Lovisa Gustafsson's school record in the 200-yard butterfly.
Pia Chock's time of 2:03.26 erased Gustaffson's mark of 2:03.63 from the Brown dual meet last November.
Chock's individual success last week did not only carry over to her individual swims at Cornell, but it also urged on her teammates.
Chock teamed up with junior sprinter Janna McDougall and first-years Erika DeBenedetto and Kate Nadeau, to win the 200-yard medley relay in 1:50.10.
McDougall captured the 100-yard backstroke in a solid 58.92 and also the 100-yard freestyle in 52.32.
McDougall's performances at the scrimmage against Northeastern and in the freestyle Saturday were faster than her conference meet performances from last year.
"I think I'm swimming faster this season because I have an improved attitude," McDougall said. "I'm communicating better with my coach, and we are training better in practices. I'm pleased with my performances."
