GENEVA, Ohio – The 200-freestyle relay team of
Ellie Kraus,
Halle Myers,
Amy O'Rourke, and
Allison Lenda set a new program record with a time 1:32.81 to highlight the second day of the Atlantic 10 Championships for the St. Bonaventure women's swim and dive team Thursday.Â

The record-setting performance surpassed the previous school-best time of 1:33.69 swam by the team of Lina Kutsko, Gerle Kerecsen, Katrina Wardner, and Devon McFadden at the 2018 A-10 Championships.
Â
Myers would go on to win the consolation final of the 50-free, swimming a time of 23.18. Her effort passes Lina Kutsko (23.58) for second in program history.
Â
In the 200-IM consolation final,
Silvana Cabrera placed 10th with a time of 2:03.19. She now sits third in the record book, breaking the time of 2:04.17 set by Devon McFadden in the 2016-17 season.
Â
Currently, the Bonnies are in ninth with a team score of 82.

Action starts back up at 10:00 a.m. in Geneva, Ohio tomorrow with the 400-IM prelims.
