Delta State redshirt freshman Anastasia Klyarovskay has broken the NCAA Division II Record in the women’s 200 yard backstroke on Monday evening at the Delta State Christmas Invite.
The 19-year old from Moscow, Russia, a former Russian Junior National Teamer, swam a 1:56.44, which took half-a-second off of the 1:56.90 set by Florida Southern’s Mary O’Sullivan at the 2011 NCAA Championships.
The Delta State freshmen have torn through this invite; in this same race, Kiersten Page was 2nd in 2:00.65, which gives the Statesmen two of the top four times in Division II this season.
Full, live meet results available here.
GO DELTA!!!
