Cortland's Michaela Sure touched out in 1:07.43 and Andrasek was one-tenth of one second behind in second place. Andrasek's time of 1:07.53 broke her own school record which she set during preliminaries Thursday (1:08.48).
Andrasek was also part of another record Friday. She swam the second leg of the women's 200-yard medley relay, which finished fourth in 1:49.74. Other members of the quartet were freshman

On the men's side:
John Estanislau's 51.38 in the 100-yard butterfly earned him the second seed going into the finals. The previous record was held by Shawn Erb, who was clocked in 52.13 seconds in 1989. On Thursday, Estanislau broke Erb's 50-yard freestyle record, also set in 1989. Estainslau's new mark is 21.19 seconds compared to Erb's best of 21.33.
Also, sophomore
Eric Jordan (Lancaster) was seventh and sophomore
Andrew Case (Clarence Center) 11th in the men's 100-yard breast stroke. Jordan touched out in 53.33 seconds.
The Blue Devil women, bolstered by an outstanding day in the diving well, ended Day 1 atop the nine-team standings but will not earn additional diving points until Saturday night when the 1-meter championship is contested. They had six women in the finals of Thursday's 3-meter event, won by junior
Sarah Ficarro (Owego).
The same held true for the men, who had three divers in the top eight of the 1-meter championship Thursday, including SUNYAC champ
Ryan Fuller (Endicott), also a junior. The 3-meter finals are Saturday night.
