Fredonia State sophomore McKayla Polowy had an encore performance Saturday at the 2020 SUNYAC Swimming & Diving championship meet.

She broke her own schools records in the 1,000-yard freestyle and 1,650-yard freestyle with times of 10:42.59 and 17:44.38, respectively. Her 1,000 time was five seconds faster and her 1,650 time over 10 seconds faster than the school records she set as a freshman at the 2019 conference meet.

Polowy finished third in the event and freshman Rachael Mayou was fifth in 18:09.04 as the Blue Devils earned 30 team points toward their seventh-place finish. They finished ahead of Buffalo State in the overall team standings and earned two points in the season-long Battle By The Lake.

Saturday's finals included an 11th-place finish by Alyson Baumann in the 100-yard freestyle in 55.32 seconds. 

This weekend marked the final collegiate competition for four Fredonia State seniors: Baumann, Sam Angrignon, Lydia Gaughran and Sierra Parsons.
