COLUMBUS, Ohio—Three more Pitt swimmers advanced to the finals of the USA Swimming Winter Nationals on Friday at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion, with senior Lina Rathsack posting her second top-10 finish in as many days in Columbus.
Following up her seventh-place finish in the 200-yard IM on Thursday, Rathsack placed ninth in the 100-yard breast Friday after winning the B Final with a dominant performance in a time of 59.89.
Also earning second swims for the Panthers Friday were sophomores Valerie Daigneault and Brian Ramsey. Daigneault added to her 14th-place race in the 200 IM yesterday by placing 13th in the 100-yard back with a mark of 54.16, while Ramsey swam to a 20th-place finish in the 100-yard breast in a time of 55.07.
Pitt sophomore Luke Smutny took 33rd in the 200 free (1:41.05) and 35th in the 100 fly (49.43) on Friday, with freshman Shahar Menahem claiming 29th in the 100 back in 56.00.
On the final day of the USA Swimming Winter Nationals, freshman Ryan Schonbachler will swim the freestyle mile of 1,650 yards against some of the nation's top competition ahead of Daigneault and Menahem returning for the 200-yard backstroke. After that, Rathsack will enter the 100-yard free and the 200-yard breast, with Ramsey also swimming in the latter of those two events. Smutny will conclude Pitt's participation in the meet by racing in the 200-yard butterfly.
