Drury’s Agnieszka Ostrowska breaks D2 National Record in 200 breast at GLVC Champs

At the inaugural Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Drury senior Agnieszka Ostrowska has put the new conference on the map in a big way, knocking down the Division II national record in the 200 breast on the final day of racing.

Ostrowska, who was the NCAA runner-up last season, chopped a whopping 7 seconds off her prelims swim to shock the nation with a 2:12.70, a tenth under the old NCAA record in what’s becoming a runaway Drury win at the conference championships.

The old record was set by Ana Gonzalez Pena of Wayne State back in 2011 at 2:12.89. Ostrowska will presumably have two more shots at Division II nationals to set the record even lower.

The Polish swimmer also won the 100 breast on Friday with a 1:02.42, which is just a second off the Division II national record in that event, well within striking distance depending on how much she has left in the tank for nationals.

Live results of the meet are available here.
