BROOKVILLE, NY - Johannah Kos (Feeding Hills, MA) of the women's swimming team set two new individual school records and was part of a relay team that did the same thing on Saturday at CW Post. Teammate Katie Marshall (Cumberland, RI) was on the same relay team and set a individual mark of her own.

The Pioneers lost the meet to Post, 122-83, but head coach Rich Ludeman's charges continues to show progress as they have set new records for the second meet in a row.

The 200 yard medley relay team of Kos, Marshall, Bridget McGowan (Norfolk, MA) and Molly McDonald (Sag Harbor, NY) set the first team record of the day in the very first event. Despite finishing second in the race, the Pioneers set a new team mark of 1:59.47.

In the second event, freshman Jackie Balder (Levittown, NY) set a new Post pool record in the 1650 yard freestyle. She won the event with a time of 18:45.57.

Kos, a transfer from Vermont, set her first team record in the 200 yard individual medley, finishing second with a time of 2:16.91. She broke the second in the 200 yard backstroke. She won the event, clocking in at 2:13.90.

Marshall broke her own mark in the 200 yard butterfly that she set just last week. She shaved nearly a second off her record, obliterating the field in 2:10.71, finishing nearly 11 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
