SWIM | No. 19-ranked Mountaineers chase perfection Saturday

GUNNISON – Western State Colorado University women's swimming and diving program looks to close out a perfect home dual season Saturday at noon in the Paul Wright Natatorium. No. 19-ranked Western State will take on Adams State, a rematch to the 152-51 victory for the Mountaineers in October. The Mountaineers have won all five duals they have competed in this season by an average margin of victory of more than 90 points.
 
Western has 19 individual marks by seven student-athletes in the top-100 in the nation. Of those marks, one is in the top-five, two in the top-15, three in the top-30 and eight in the top-50. The Mountaineers also have four of the five relays ranked in the top-50, with three in the top-30.
 
Western is paced by freshman sensation Randi Yarnell. Yarnell has three individual NCAA "B" cut times and five top-100 times. She is fourth in the 200 free, the event where she posted the first-ever Mountaineer "B" standard time. She is also 12th in the 100 free, 30th in the 100 fly, 45th in the 50 free and 66th in the 100 backstroke. Yarnell is also a part of all four relays in the top-50.
 
Akemi King has four marks in the top-100 thus far. She is 47th in the 400 IM, 50th in the 200 fly, 67th in the 1,000 free and 80th in the 1,650. King is on two of the four relays.
 
Alexandra Marsolek and Frances Ivers both boast three spots in the top-100. Marsolek is 44th in the 100 breast, an event where she is a tenth of a second from becoming the second Mountaineer to hit an NCAA "B" standard mark. She is also 60th in the 200 breast and 79th in the 200 IM. Ivers is 44th in the 1,000 free, 51st in the 1,650 and 79th in the 500 free.
 
Ma'alaea Lawrence is 58th in the 100 breast, while Kelsey Oettinger is 89th in the 1,000. The final two spots go to Taylor Bogdahn at 98th in the 1,000 and Danielle Ginsburg at 94th in the 400 IM.
 
The meet is free to the public. It will be the last home meet for senior captain Danielle Ginsburg.
