"I didn't want to have any regrets," Brown said. "I gave it my all and I wanted to make sure I left everything I had in the pool."

Senior standout Kirra Brandon made up for a disappointing 400-yard I.M. in Friday morning's preliminaries with two season-best swims on Saturday. Brandon finished 13th in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:25.42, 2:24.26 prelim) and 8th in the 200-yard butterfly (2:07.98, 2:05.45).

Senior Danielle Backes swam to a personal best time of 17:30.85 in the 1650-yard freestyle to finish in 17th place.

Senior divers Camilla McLean and Captain Ali Shipley each qualified for finals on one board and scored consolation points on the other.

McLean finished 4th on the 3-meter with 442.25 points and 10th on the 1-meter.

Shipley, who just got back on the boards 14 days ago after being out all season with an ankle injury, placed 8th on the 1-meter with 209.60 points. She finished 11th on the three meter.

Unlike the Crimson swimmers, whose collegiate season is now over, the divers move onto the NCAA Regional Zone competition in two weeks where they will have a chance to qualify for the Big Dance.

Other Crimson swimmers who turned in all-star performances include sophomore Jane Humphries in the 200-yard I.M. (8th, 2:06.85, 2:05.41 prelim), junior Janna McDougall in the 100-yard freestyle (8th, 52., 51.29 prelim) and 100-yard backstroke (5th, 57.36, 57.10 prelim), and freshman Katie Wilbur in the 400-yard I.M. (5th, 4:28.14, 4:27.80 prelim).
