SIOUX CITY, Iowa – The College of Saint Mary swim team won six of 14 events and cruised to the team title in the three-team GPAC Invitational on Saturday hosted by Morningside University.

Coach Liz Germonprez's crew finished with 684 team points to easily outdistance runner-up Dordt University (401) and third-place Morningside (317).

"The Flames had a fantastic season-opener,'' Germonprez said. "They have been bringing it in practice, and today they swam with a lot of heart. We have a solid baseline now as we go into heavier training.''

Freshman Keira Promes emphatically introduced herself to the collegiate level by not only winning two events, but smashing meet records in both of them. Promes won the 100 butterfly in 1:02.60, breaking the previous record of 1:06.57 by nearly four seconds. She won the 50 butterfly in 26.83, shattering the meet record of 29.13 by more than two seconds.

Junior Kylee Brown won the 1,000 freestyle in 12:13.09, triumphing by more than 26 seconds. In the 50 backstroke, sophomore Chloe Hale nipped Jaden Ochsner, 31.30 to 31.31 for the victory. And in the 500 freestyle, freshman Grace Biddle also shined in her debut, winning in 6:02.57.

The Flames 'A' team also won the 200 medley relay, with Jaidyn Vanschoiack, Brown, Promes and Grace Biddle clocking 1:57.86 to win by more than three seconds.
