Meet Recap:

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (2/21/09)-- On Saturday Concordia made sure that no one would catch them for eighth place in the final day at the MIAC Championship Meet and even made a run at climbing into the seventh spot at the end of the conference meet.

The Cobbers once again used the strength of their diving team to score big points and come away with an eighth-place finish at the conference meet. The eighth-place finish breaks a string of three straight ninth-place finishes at the year-end MIAC Meet. CC finished the event with 223.5 total team points which is the most since the 2004-05 season when they placed sixth with a total of 239 points.

Concordia placed two athletes on the All-Conference list and both were divers. Amy Glubzinski finished second in the 3-meter competition on Friday and Lauren Trudeau matched that effort on Saturday by finishing second in the 1-meter event. Both divers also placed fifth in the other event.

Those two led a quintet of divers that all finished in the top 15 on either board. Senior Nikki Christenson placed in the top 13 on both boards. She was 11th in the 3-meter and 13th in the 1-meter. A pair of freshmen used their first college championship meet to earn team points. Molly Hansvik placed 7th in the 1-meter event and Allison Hall was 14th in the 3-meter.

All told the CC divers scored 89.5 total team points.

The top swimming finishes came from the tandem of sophomore Katie Coleman and senior Shaina Fossum. Coleman posted the highest finish of any CC swimmer when she placed seventh in the 1650-yard freestyle in a time of 18:28.33. That cut over a minute off of her seed time and is less than :23 seconds away from the school record set in 2001. Coleman also finished 10th in the 500-yard freestyle with a mark of 5:19.87. That time is less than :03 seconds off the school record.

Coleman also finished the meet by being named the team's representative to the MIAC All-Sportsmanship Team.

Fossum posted points in three different events for the Cobbers. Her top finish came in the 400-yard individual medley where she placed 11th in a time of 4:55.80. She then capped her career by placing in the top 16 in two different events on Saturday night. She started the final session by racing to a 19:03.18 in the 165-yard freestyle and placing 14th. She then gutted out a 16th-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly later in the evening with a time of 2:26.42.

The only other Concordia swimmer to finish in the top 15 was Chelsea Volna who swam a 1:12.94 in the 100-yard breaststroke and finished 15th.
