USAFA, Colo.— Colorado Mesa University junior Lily Borgenheimer set a pair of school records while she and Jolynn Harris both won two events and set NCAA Division II Championship qualifying marks to lead the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks to a 24^th consecutive Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference women's swimming and diving dual meet victory, 173-63 over the Colorado School of Mines.
 
The Mavericks also combined to set eight RMAC-leading performances in a quadrangular at the United States Air Force Academy on Friday afternoon at the Falcons' Cadet Auditorium.  They did come up short to the host Falcons, 142-100, and another NCAA Division I opponent in Northern Colorado, which edged the now 2-3 (2-0 RMAC) Mavericks, 127-114 in the other team scoring battle.
 
Borgenheimer, a transfer from Minnesota State, who set the Maverick record in the 200-yard breaststroke in her Maverick debut on Halloween (Oct. 31), won both the 200 individual medley and 100 breast in Friday's dual, both with NCAA Championship "B" cut, RMAC-leading and school-record setting times.
 
Her 200 IM mark of 2:05.00, which converts to 2:03.40 with the altitude-adjustment, took down what was the second-oldest Maverick school record.  The former record of 2:03.43 was set nearly seven years ago by Briana Purkapile at the 2014 RMAC Championships.
 
Borgenheimer then came back to win the 100 breast in 1:02.69 (1:02.54-altitude adjusted), crushing the former record of 1:03.28, set by Samantha White at last season's A3 Performance Invitational.
 
Her new times will rank her as high as fourth (100 breast) and seventh nationally and lead the RMAC by wide margins.  Borgenheimer stands second in Division II with her earlier 200 breast time of 2:15.57.
 
Meanwhile, Harris set an NCAA qualifying score of 270.95 points to win the 1-meter diving event by more than 40 points over teammate Ali Lange and the rest of the 9-woman field after taking victory in the earlier 3-meter competition with a score of 262.80 points.  Lange finished third in that event with 236.90 points.
 
Borgenheimer's swims, which  were just two of many other highlights for the Maverick swimmers, who set additional RMAC-leading times in both relays as well as in the 200 free, 100 fly, 100 free and 100 individual events throughout the course of the afternoon.
 
In the 200 medley relay, Grace Payton, Borgenheimer, Noel Scott and Logan Anderson combined for a time of 1:45.49 to finish third and extend CMU's RMAC lead.  The "B" quad of Sarah Fillerup, Kennedy Bright, Anna Barjenbruch and Natalie Saul were sixth in 1:48.50, finishing ahead of both of Mines' units.
 
The Mavs also took third in the 400 free relay as Maddie Pressler, Scott, Saul and Anderson combined for a time of 3:33.94 (3:33.34-altitude adjusted) to extend their RMAC lead.
 
Pressler also took over the RMAC lead from teammate Katerina Matoskova in 200 free as she finished third in 1:56.67 (1:55.07-altitude adjusted).  Freshman Elsa Huebsch was just behind in 1:56.86 (1:55.26-altitude adjusted) to finish fourth as the Mavericks now have five of the RMAC's six fastest swimmers in that event thus far in 2020-21.
 
Later, Pressler also took third in the 100 free with a time of 53.26 (53.11-adjusted) to take over the RMAC performance list lead from teammate Lauren White.  Anna Barjenbruch also fared well posting a mark of 53.56 (53.41-adjusted) to finish fourth as the Mavericks now have each of the seventh fastest swimmers in the RMAC this season.
 
Scott also set a RMAC-leading time of 58.74 seconds (58.59-altitude adjusted) to finish fifth in the 100 fly.
 
Meanwhile, the Mavericks were quite strong in the 100 back as Huebsch posted a time of 56.89 (56.74-adjusted) to take the RMAC lead and move into the No. 7 position in Maverick program history.  She finished second.  Fillerup (58.05) and Payton (58.25) finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
 
Bright and Payton also had top-5 finishes in the 200 IM behind Borgenheimer.  Bright touched in 2:10.29 (2:08.69) to move into third in the RMAC while Payton now stands fourth after posting a time of 2:10.50 (2:08.90-adjusted).
 
In the distance events, Isabelle Hansson finished fourth in the 1,000 free moving into second place on the RMAC performance list behind teammate Robyn Naze with a time of 10:58.99 (10:43.49-adjusted).  Delaney Kidd finished seventh in that event at 11:22.81.
 
Kathryn Schwartz was the top Mav in the 500 free at 5:24.16 to place eighth.  Kidd was ninth in 5:24.52.  Schwartz also moved into the RMAC's top 10 in the 200 free with a time of 2:01.62 (2:00.02-adjusted), which was good for tenth place on Friday.
 
Saul also recorded CMU's top 50 free time of the season, finishing seventh in that discipline in 24.70 seconds, third fastest in the RMAC this campaign.
 
The Mavericks will compete against the same foes in another quad meet in the Cadet Natatorium on Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
