ALFRED, N.Y. (Oct. 23, 2004) -- Junior Aubrey Kirchoff (pictured) won three individual events Saturday, including a record-breaking effort in the 200-yard butterfly, to lift Nazareth to a 151-90 victory over Alfred University in women's swimming and diving. Alfred defeated Nazareth in the men's meet, 128-98.

Kirchoff, an All-American at Oswego two years ago, transferred to Nazareth this fall. She had an immediate impact against Alfred by finishing first in the 200 freestyle and the 200 breaststroke in addition to the butterfly. Her time of 2:16.10 in the 200 fly broke a 16-year-old school record by more than a second.

Nazareth also received strong performances from freshmen Emily Lesher and Meghan Okoniewski and sophomore Amy Mehltretter. Lesher won the 200 IM and the 200 backstroke and was part of the winning 400 medley relay team. Okoniewski and Mehltretter each participated in the 400 free relay team that finished first. In addition, Okoniewski won the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle and Mehltretter won the 1000 freestyle and the 500 freestyle.

In the men's meet, junior Tom Mitchell placed second in the 200 freestyle and Tim Baker was third in both the 50 and 100 freestyles.

Nazareth competes again Saturday at St. Lawrence at 1 p.m.
