Day Three Results

Ashley Cozad Posts a 2:04.51 in the 200 Fly, Good for Fourth in A Cut Final

LYNCHBURG, Va. - North Florida swimming finished up the penultimate day at the CCSA Championships Friday, Feb. 18, with Ospreys earnings points and finishing in 11 different finals. Ashley Cozad nearly earned a spot on the podium for the 200 fly, notching the fourth-fastest time in the A-Final. Her mark of 2:04.54 was good for ninth in UNF history for the event.

Notes

Cozad's time in the 200 fly was good for ninth in UNF history. She finished just ahead of Sydney Groth's time and just behind Carolina Poline in the 2009 CCSA Championships.
North Florida earned points in 11 different finals on day three.
The Ospreys stand ahead of Bellarmine and just behind Gardner-Webb once more.

Coach Coffey's Comments
"We started off the meet with the 800 freestyle relay and dropped three seconds in that race, which I was very happy with. Next up was the 100 backstroke, with Annie Fletcher and Taylor Warren doing a good job in the B Final. Moving on to breaststroke, we had five swimmers earn points for us. In the 200 fly, Ashley Cozad was just touched out of the medal ceremony with a fourth-place finish. Her time was good for a UNF top-10 mark."

"Tomorrow is a tough day. We will swim the 200's and 100's of breaststroke and the 100 and 1,650 freestyle. We're doing great. It's going to be a tough day mentally and physically, but I think we can come through and finish the meet on the right note."
