WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Going into night three, the Wildcats knew the odds would be stacked against them for a shot at the team national championship. Add in the fact that the top five teams were separated by a mere 10 points and the task seemed that much more daunting. But to no one's surprise, the Cats never lost hope, fought until the end and wound up placing fourth - many spots ahead of where a slew of swimming analysts had them pegged.
Joni Keith got the party started for UA by placing 10th overall in the timed finals of the 1650 freestyle. The time was a career-best for Keith as she totaled seven points for the Cats.
To have a chance on night three, Arizona took advantage of the five swimmers that qualified in the 200 backstroke. Caitlin Iversen and Ana Agy, swimming in the championship heat, took seventh and eighth, respectively with times of 1:54.14 and 1:54.54. In the consolation heat, Erin Campbell placed third, followed by Jenny Forster in fourth and Hannah Ross in sixth. The collective point total from the 200 back was 37 and Arizona grabbed its first lead of the NCAA Championships.
Then in the 100 freestyle consols, Justine Schluntz placed runner-up with a time of 48.39 to give her team an additional seven points and hang on to the first-place lead.
Annie Chandler, who last night won the 100 breast and set an NCAA record, just missed winning her second individual title as she was third overall in the 200 breast in 2:07.68. Chandler's time set a new school record breaking both Amanda Beard's converted time and Julie Stupp's yardage set last year. Chandler's finish was good for 16 points for UA.
In the 200 fly, Alyssa Anderson continued the Cats' amazing fight as she won the consolation heat with a time of 1:55.13 to notch another nine points. After the 200 fly, in which Stanford won the championship heat, the Cardinal nudged past Arizona's first-place point total and took a four-point cushion into diving events.
In the platform dive event, the only team among the top five contenders to qualify a diver, Florida, placed two divers in to the championship final and came away with a third and eighth place finish. UF was awarded 27 points in the event and slide past both Stanford and Arizona to take the lead heading into the final event -the 400 free relay.
In the deciding relay, UF and Stanford stormed out to a lead, while the Cats couldn't hold the fast pace. The team of Schluntz, Leo Vorster, Andrea Boritzke and Whitney Lopus eventually placed seventh while the Cardinal won the relay, California moved up and placed second and Florida was third.
Even though Stanford topped Florida in the relay, the Gators mustered enough points to hang on to the lead, but just barely. UF won the NCAA title over Stanford by 2.5 points while Cal's runner-up finish in the relay moved them three points ahead of Arizona for third place honors.
Arizona, which recorded an overall point total of 359.5, won its seventh consecutive piece of wood, or a trophy in swimming lingo. Over the course of the championships, Arizona garnered national titles in the 200 and 400 medley relays and the 100 breaststroke.
