Jeppesen
earns All-America honors, breaks three KU records
HOUSTON —
Stephanie Jeppesen (jr.
Bethlehem/Liberty)
made a huge splash for the Kutztown University women's
swimming team at the NCAA Division II championships at the
University of Houston.
Jeppesen,
who helped KU finish 21st out of 33 teams, earned
All-America honors in her final event of the championships,
while setting three KU school records she already owned.
Her silver
medal finish in the 200-yard breaststroke was her best
performance of the four-day event. She swam the event in 2:16.99
on Saturday, breaking her old record of 2:17.19, which she
set at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference meet.
Jeppesen
also had ninth- and 12th-place finishes at the NCAA
championships this week.
In the 100
breaststroke, Jeppesen
broke the record in the finals Friday, finishing ninth with
a time of 1:03.94.
Jeppesen set the new KU school record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:06.28 in preliminaries
Wednesday. She again improved on
her own record with a finals time of 2:05.42, placing 12th, moving
up four places from her qualifying seed.
She will
return for her senior season at KU and will look to lead the
Golden Bears after a record season, winning 11 meets under
13-year head coach Tim Flannery.
NCAA Division II
National Championships
Steph Jeppesen to swim in three events at nationals
HOUSTON —
Stephanie Jeppesen (jr.
Bethlehem/Liberty)
will represent the Kutztown
University women's swimming team at the NCAA Division II
national championships, swimming in three events this
weekend.
The four-day event opens Wednesday at the
University of Houston and will conclude Saturday.
Jeppesen, who owns the school records in all
three events she will be competing in this weekend, will open the
meet with the 200-yard individual medley on Wednesday. She will swim
in prelims in the morning and the finals at 5:30 p.m.
Her best seeding for the weekend comes in the
200 breaststroke, which is scheduled for Saturday. Jeppesen is
ranked fourth after swimming the event in
2:17.19 at the PSAC meet, where she placed second.
She's seeded
eighth in the 100 breaststroke, scheduled for Friday, with a
time of 1:04.38. She placed third in the event at the PSAC
meet.
Jeppesen's record-breaking performance in the 200 IM at the PSAC
meet with a
time of 2:07.51 earned her a second-place finish and a 16th seed in
the race Thursday.
