Regopoulos Sets New 800-Meter Freestyle Pool Record

HUNTINGDON, Pa. — Goucher's Alexis Regopoulos (Fitchburg, Mass./North Middlesex Regional) placed first in three individual events during a triangular meet this afternoon that included Juniata and Scranton. In one of those events, she also broke the existing pool record.

The Gophers came out of the meet with their fourth victory of the season, as well as their third loss. They pinned a 111-93 setback on the Eagles (0-3), but were handed a 144-60 defeat by the Royals (5-0).

Regopoulos became the second person already this season to set a new Juniata pool record in the 800-meter freestyle when she completed the event in 9:39.22. Back on October 17, Grace Magerr from Millersville posted a time of 9:43.96 to break a record that had existed since 2002.

Regopolous was also the first to touch in the 200m free (2:16.46) and the 400m free (4:45.01).

Ila Jackson (Columbia, Md./homeschooled) was the runner-up in both the 50m free (:29.03) and the 100m breaststroke (1:25.86). Lizzy Hannifin (Denver, Colo./East) took third place in the 100m free (1:05.97).

The Gophers (4-3) are scheduled to compete in a dual meet against Notre Dame (Md.) on November 18.
