CARRIER COMPETES AT HISTORIC NCAA DIII SWIM & DIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS

March 24, 2009

The 2009 NCAA Division III Swim and Dive Championships were historic this year with it being the first combined meet ever, but for Jessie Carrier, it was a culmination of four years of tireless work in the pool.

Carrier, a senior from Victoria, TX/St. Joseph HS, is the first Southwestern swimmer to compete at the Championships after qualifying in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 23.78, which also earned her the All-SCAC honors.

While there, she competed in the 50 yard, 100 yard, and 200 yard freestyle. Carrier captured 20th place in the 50 free with a time of 23.97 and was the highest SCAC finisher in the 100 free where she placed 36th with a time of 52.73. In the 200 free, which she earned a SCAC title at the conference meet, Carrier ended with a time of 1:58.03 for 62nd place.
