SAN ANTONIO, Texas (March 12) – Junior Melissa Gates (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley) broke her own school record and earned All-America honors in the 100 freestyle on Saturday, as the Vulcans tied their program-best finish at the NCAA Division II Championships at the Palto Alto Natatorium.

Gates placed second in the preliminaries of the 100 freestyle during the morning session with a school-record time of 50.15 seconds before resetting the record with a time of 49.97 seconds to finish third in the finals. The 5-9 junior previously set the record this season at 50.41 seconds. Gates received All-America status in two events this weekend after winning the national title in the 50 freestyle on Wednesday and is now a five-time All-American.

Freshman Clarissa Enslin (Dalview, South Africa/St. Andrews School for Girls) also competed in the 100 freestyle on Saturday and registered a season-best time. She finished 10th overall in both the preliminaries and finals, posting a time of 50.80 seconds in the finals to earn All-America Honorable Mention.

The Vulcans also received All-America Honorable Mention in the 400 freestyle relay after placing 10th in the finals with a time of 3 minutes, 27.78 seconds, which is only 16-hundreths of a second shy of the school record set three weeks ago.
