BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Toledo swimming and diving team enjoyed a stellar performance on day three of the 2020 Mid-American Conference Championships finishing with four individual podium spots. Junior Izzy Jones paced the Rockets yet again with a silver medal finish in the 200 freestyle.

Interim head coach Brie Globig was pleased with the Rockets' overall performance, which saw them sitting in fifth place with 206 points three days through the four-day meet.

"We had an amazing day today," Globig said. "Izzy's performance in the 200 free was great to see, and to have her and Kennedy in the A-finals was great. We also had Bec and Ashley in the A-finals, which is a great thing for our program and swimmers. I can't wait to see what we can accomplish tomorrow."

Jones came out of preliminaries with the third-fastest time in program history at 1:47.73. After posting a time that sent her into the finals seeded first, the Ivinghoe, England native was able to drop one-hundredth of a second and finish second with a 1:47.72. Redshirt freshman Kennedy Lovell also finished on the podium, clocking a 1:51.56 for eighth place.

Senior Bec Welke went into the 100 breaststroke finals seeded seventh and improved to the sixth-place spot after touching the wall in 1:03.04. Sophomore Ashley Jeffreys went into the first A-final of her career as the eighth seed after clocking a 55.45. She then dropped over two-tenths of a second to finish in seventh place at 55.23.

Junior Ally Sperring finished the day in 15th place of the 400 IM, touching the wall in 4:30.94.

The 400 medley relay team of Jones, Welke, Duda Sales, and Lisa Eriksson placed seventh with a 3:44.82. Izzy Jones was three-hundreths off the school record in the 100 backstroke during the opening leg of the relay.
