Friday marked separation day for the Emory University women's swimming & diving team as the Eagles, who entered the day with an 18-point lead, used four conference titles to extend their UAA Championship lead to 149 entering the final day of competition.

Following a terrific night of swimming, Emory now stands at the top with 1,243 points with Chicago in second at 1,094 points and New York University in third at 1,018. The Eagles' night consisted of three individual titles, one relay championship, seven All-UAA finishes and two new conference meet records.

The evening got underway with junior Megan Jungers, senior Anna Glowniak, graduate student Taylor Leone and senior Caroline Maki setting another conference record, this time in the 200 Medley. After the foursome established a new UAA record in the 400 Medley on Thursday, the group was back in the first event of the night, recording a blistering pace of 1:40.29 to win by over four seconds.

The group of swimmers continued to set the tone for the Emory women's team over the course of the session as all four were responsible for more hardware in favor of the Eagles.

In incredible fashion, Maki and Leone tied for the UAA crown in the 100 Fly as the duo touched the wall exactly at 54.73. The win is Leone's third straight championship in the event while this marked Maki's first All-UAA finish in the event of her career. Jungers was right behind the twosome as she rounded out the All-UAA performances at 55.13.

In the 100 Breaststroke, Glowniak captured her first-ever individual title at the UAA Championships as she took the top spot in the finals at 1:02.59, one of five Eagles in championship race. Junior Fiona Arwood would finish in second in the loaded Emory final with a time of 1:03.39.

In the final event of the night, Jungers went wire-to-wire for her first UAA title in the 100 Backstroke after taking second a year ago. This time around Jungers left no doubt, setting a new UAA record in the win at 53.80.

Senior Sarah Byers added an All-UAA effort as the top Eagles finisher in the 400 IM, taking third at 4:27.68 while graduate student Mariane Allard placing fifth with a time of 4:29.44.

Other top performers for the Eagles on Friday came from senior Savannah Sowards who was fifth in both the 100 Fly (55.77) and 100 Back (56.61), sophomore Penelope Helm in the 200 Freestyle (4^th, 1:51.32), sophomore Caroline Zhu in the both the 100 Breast (4^th, 1:04.03) and 100 Fly (6^th, 55.99), and sophomore Ali Kaiser (5^th, 1:04.35) and freshman Keenan Day (6^th, 1:05.11) in the 100 Breast.

The Eagles look to claim their 24^th straight UAA championship on Saturday as the meet comes to a close with the final events of the week: 1,650 Freestyle, 200 Backstroke, 100 Freestyle, 200 Breaststroke, 200 Fly, women's 1-meter diving and the 400 Freestyle Relay.
