SUNYAC Notebook: School records, career achievements

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia teams competed at four separate SUNYAC championship venues last weekend, resulting in individual achievements of note, including three women's swimming school records by freshman McKayla Polowy.

Last Thursday, Polowy tied the 500-yard freestyle record of 5:13.09, which she now shares with Lizzie Lodinsky from the 2012 Blue Devil Invitational. On Saturday, Polowy's time of 17:54.74 in the 1,650 freestyle broke Lodinsky's team record of 17:55.49, set at the 2012 SUNYAC meet. During the 1,650, Polowy crossed the 1,000-yard mark in 10:47.58, faster than Lodinsky's 10:48.14 split during her record-setting 1,650 in 2012.

Other weekend highlights by Blue Devil athletes:

MEN'S DIVING: Junior springboard diver Christian Krasnek scored 70 points in three separate dives en route to a first-place finish in the 3-meter competition Saturday. His winning score of 585.25 points is 3.05 points short of the Fredonia school record held by Arron Carlson, who scored 588.30 points at the 2016 SUNYAC meet. Krasnek and sophomore Patrick McCormick will compete this Friday and Saturday in the NCAA Region 4 competition at Rochester Institute of Technology. Regional winners from across the country, plus other top finishers, qualify for the Division III national meet March 20-23 at Greensboro, N.C.

WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD: The 7.93-second 60-meter dash by sophomore Ayana Bursie gave her sole possession of the No. 2 spot on the school Top 10 indoor record list. She's one-tenth of one second off the school record held by Anna Dambacher (7.83 seconds in March 2014). Bursie finished second in Saturday's 60 final, the best finish in the event by a Fredonia woman in the eight years it's been run at the distance. The indoor sprint was at 55 meters prior to 2012. Dambacher was third at 60 meters in 2014.

MEN'S TRACK & FIELD: The first-place finish by senior Nick Serafin in the men's high jump is the first by a Blue Devil in a jumping event since Mike Kelley's 2009 triple jump win.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Senior forward Jenna Einink completed her collegiate career Friday as the all-time leader in blocked shots with 167. She'll also graduate third in career rebounds (804), fourth in career points (1,285), and eighth in career assists (236). Over four seasons, Einink appeared in 103 games, tied with Clare Crowley (2000-04) for second all-time, and one game behind Crowley's teammate Amy Bushen, whose 104 games tops Fredonia's list.

MEN'S HOCKEY: Senior goaltender Eric Bogart appeared in 63 games over four seasons, registering 29.86 saves per game and a .917 save percentage, both Fredonia career records. He is also third all-time with a 2.91 goals against average and is tied for sixth all-time with 27 wins.
