"It's great to have some of our student-athletes represent the program at this level," said head coach Josh Christensen. "It's a tough transition from short course to long course during the middle of the college season on short rest, but it's also a great experience builder. We want to continue to get athletes to this level and provide them opportunities to compete, learn and improve."

Beard’s record was the oldest in the age group before King broke it on Saturday night. The time also vaulted King up to 19th in the world rankings.
Also in the championship final of the 200 LCM breaststroke, Indiana’s Miranda Tucker placed fourth with a time of 2:26.08, ranking her second all-time at IU with her Olympic Trials qualifying mark.
Combined with their prelim times from this morning, King (2:27.01) and Tucker (2:26.08) set the top-four times in the 200 LCM breast in Indiana history on Saturday.
Kennedy Goss capped a great weekend at the AT&T Winter Nationals in the “A” final of the 200 LCM backstroke, finishing eighth with an Olympic Trials cut time of 2:16.54. In the morning prelims, Goss timed in with an even better OT qualifying time of 2:12.90.

Kansas
Kansas swimming was well represented on the final day of competition at AT&T Winter Nationals with at least one Jayhawk competing in all five events held in Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Washington during Saturday's prelims session.
KU saw its most action in the 200-meter butterfly with both Chelsie Miller and Libby Walker swimming in the event. The pair headed into the race having already registered Olympic Trials cuts previously this year and were looking to improve their marks.
Miller took the starting blocks first in heat No. 4 of 7 and recorded a time of 2:17.90 for a 35th place finish and Walker competed in the final heat swimming a 2:17.65 for 31st. Neither of their times bettered their previous Olympic Trials cuts, but the fact that less than a second stood between them was no surprise. Less than sixth-tenths of a second separate their current qualifying times of 2:14.19 (Walker) and 2:14.75 (Miller).
Walker, the freshman from Columbia, Missouri, returned to the pool later in afternoon looking to add another Olympic Trials cut to her resume. She competed in the 800-meter freestyle and finished 26th with a swim of 8:59.88, falling short of the qualifying time.
After lowering her own Uzbekistani record and earning a FINA B cut in the 100-meter backstroke Friday morning with a time of 1:01.69, Yulya Kuchkarova took the pool for the 200-meter backstroke Saturday with hopes of attaining another FINA standard. The Tashkent, Uzbekistan native came up short in the event with a time of 2:17.89, a little over two seconds off the qualifying mark. Her swim was the 33rd fastest in the event.
Kansas senior Haley Molden competed in the 100-meter freestyle, her final of three freestyle swims this weekend. She finished 77th with a time of 58.45, unable to qualify for finals. Molden wasn't able to turn in Olympic Trials cuts in her events, but will have the chance to improve her times in championship meets throughout the year.
Lydia Pocisk was the third swimmer in the pool for Kansas in Saturday's prelims session. She raced in the 200-meter breaststroke, swimming a time of 2:44.89 and placing 65th overall. After falling behind in the first two laps, Pocisk dug deep to make up time and finish sixth in her heat. However, her time wasn't enough to earn an Olympic Trials cut.
Lehigh
Juniors Jamal Willis and Justin White have become the first Lehigh swimmers, male or female in the last 40 years, to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials with their performances at this week's AT&T U.S. Winter National Championships. Both swimmers hit the automatic qualifying time in their heats on Thursday in the 50 meter freestyle, earning them an automatic bid to next summer's Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. Fellow Mountain Hawk Jacob Moyar also competed and qualified for the 'C' consolation final in the 200 meter butterfly late Saturday evening.
Willis and White were both among the 106 total competitors in Thursday's 50 meter freestyle. Willis took to the pool in Heat 7 and outpaced the other seven swimmers to win the heat with an exact qualifying time of 23.29 seconds. The time was good enough for 38th place overall in the event.
White followed that up in the very next heat with a solid time of 23.16 seconds, also earning him an automatic bid to the Olympic trials. The time was tied for 31st overall and tied for third highest in the heat, at 0.93 seconds behind the winner.
The 50 meter event was won by Nathan Adrian, a U.S. National Team member and Olympic gold medalist. Other notable finishers included Josh Schneider (fifth place), a fellow national team member and former American (50m freestyle) and world record (200m MED-R) holder, and 2010 NCAA 50 yard freestyle champion.
Moyar took to the pool on Saturday morning in the 200 meter fly, looking to meet the Olympic trial qualifying mark of 2:01.99. He finished 17th overall with a time of 2:02.86, which was good enough to qualify him for the 'C' final on Saturday evening. In the consolation final, Moyar bested his time from earlier in the day, touching the wall in fourth place in 2:02.57. It marked the second year in a row that Moyar qualified for the consolation finals in the 200 fly. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympic swimmer in history and current world record holder in the event, was crowned the national champion after taking top spot in the 'A' final.
On Friday, the trio also competed in a number of time trials. Willis swam in the 200 meter freestyle (2:05.50), White in the 100 meter butterfly, and Moyar in the 100 fly (2:09.08) and 200 IM (56.81).
Missouri State
Senior Dora Kiss set new team- and personal-best times twice over in the 200-meter butterfly as Missouri State swimmers finished races on the final day of the AT&T Winter National Championships Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.
“I am very pleased with how our group swam at U.S. Nationals this week,” Bears head coach Dave Collins said. “This is without a doubt the best competition we will see all year and I felt like we competed very well. I am extremely proud of this group as they represent Missouri State at the national level.”

The women’s swimmer advanced to the final with the 14th-best time and again shattered her top mark, touching the wall in the B final in 2:13.91. Kiss placed sixth in the heat for 14th overall.
“Dora becomes our program’s first national meet point scorer with her 200 fly finals swim tonight,” Collins said. “I am proud of how she bounced back from some disappointing swims early in the meet to set a personal best and new team record.”
Missouri State junior women’s swimmer Lauren Pavel wrapped up her appearance at Winter Nationals racing in the 200 breaststroke Saturday. She closed out her 2015 campaign by placing 59th in the event behind a time of 2:41.39.
“Lauren’s determination and work ethic is motivating to be around,” Collins said. “She gained more big meet experience that will be very valuable for her as she continues to improve. I look forward to seeing what she can achieve in the future.”
Former MSU men’s swimmer Paul Le also raced Saturday in the 200 backstroke. Le placed 56th overall in the 200 back, with his 100 split (55.52) ending up as his fastest of the weekend.
“This experience for Paul was very beneficial as he continues to chase his dream of making the Vietnamese Olympic team,” Collins said. “He went a lifetime best in the 100 back and things look good for him moving into 2016!”
Bears men’s senior Uvis Kalnins completed his Winter Nationals appearance Friday after racing in the 200 individual medley and 100 breast. He made the A final in the 200 IM on day one and won both of his heats – including the C final – in the 100 breast on the second day of action.
“Uvis continues to show his best on swimming’s largest stage.” Collins said. “His 200 IM was our program’s first top-eight finish at a national meet. Although he just missed the Olympic automatic cut, he is determined and will continue working toward that mark.”
The Bears’ swimming and diving teams return to action when the calendar flips to 2016. Missouri State opens the New Year when the Bears’ men’s team travels to College Station, Texas, to face Texas A&M on Jan. 7.
