PRINCETON, N.J.--One relay records a first-place finish, as the Panthers place third with 176 points following one day of competition in the Big Al Princeton Invitational at DeNunzio Pool.

Later O'Hara and Safritt finished in the top three of the 50 free, placing second and third respectively.
Safritt then anchored the 400 medley team of sophomore Ryann Kishbaugh (Danville, Pa./Danville Area), freshman Cookie McIntyre (York, Pa./West York Area) and senior Brittany Stevens (Peachtree City, Ga./Starr's Mill) to a fourth-place finish when they touched the wall at 3:38.12.
