March 18, 2016 | Women's Swimming
ATLANTA, Ga. – Senior Sammy Harrison of the Oregon State swimming team continued her NCAA Division I Women's Swimming Championships campaign on Friday with the 200-yard freestyle from the McAuley Aquatic Center.
Harrison competed in lane eight of the second heat of the 200-yard freestyle preliminaries. She placed 55th in the 200 on Friday with a time of 1:47.73, the fifth-fastest time in program history.
The Henderson, Nev. native owns the second-best time in school history, clocking a time of 1:46.70 last season. She recorded a time of 1:47.13 at the Pac-12 Championships this season, and with today's result, owns three of the top five times in the event all-time at Oregon State.
Harrison was invited to swim the event thanks to her NCAA cut times in the 500-yard freestyle and the 1,650-yard freestyle.
Harrison will wrap up her NCAA Championships campaign with her signature event, the 1,650-yard freestyle, on Saturday. Heats for the 1,650 begin at 12:45 p.m. PT (3:45 p.m. ET), while Harrison's heat, the third heat, will likely commence at about 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. PT).
