Cozad, Warren, Shaw and Kephart Notch 4x100 Free Relay Record in 3:28.22

LYNCHBURG, Va. - North Florida swimming went out with a bang on the final day of the CCSA Championships Saturday, Feb. 19, notching another program relay record while tallying four UNF top-10 times. The 4x100 relay team of Ashley Cozad, Taylor Warren, Marcia Shaw and Ashley Kephart touched the wall in 3:28.22, good for first in North Florida program history, snapping what was a ten-year old record.

The original 4x100 relay record was set by Rebecca Bernard, Caitlyn Guitierrez, Maria Bernard and Natalie McCallum back in the 2012-13 season. That group touched the wall in 3:28.52.

UNF set two program records on the weekend, doing so in a pair of relay events. The Ospreys also set the new school record with a time of 1:45.00 in the 200 medley relay on day one of the Championships.

Notes

In addition to the record-setting relay, UNF recorded points in five different finals. A total of 11 different Ospreys tallied finals points for North Florida Saturday.
Ryan Showfety swam to a sixth-place finish in the 1,650 free, pacing the Ospreys in that event with a time of 17:28.10. That mark was eighth-best in UNF history.
Swimming in the 100 free C Final, Kephart turned in a 51.98 mark, sixth-best in UNF history as well as second-best in her final.

As the leading swimmer in the 4x100 free relay, Cozad's split was the fastest on the night for UNF, as she touched in 51.68. That mark lands her at fifth in program history.
