Carrie Markel took fourth place in the 200-yard freestyle and helped a pair of relay teams post season-best times as Colorado College enjoyed another impressive day at the 2010 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Swimming & Diving Championships.

Markel started the day by swimming the anchor leg in the 200 medley relay, combining with Whitney Petersen, Karen Rasmussen and Julia Rubinstein for a time of 1:56.09 that was good for seventh place.

Three events later, Markel gave the CC women their top individual finish at this year's championships by posting a time of 1:58.21 in the championship final. Earlier in the day, she posted a season-best time of 1:58.02 in the preliminaries.

In the final event of the night, Markel swam the leadoff leg in the 800 free relay, joining forces with Andrea Tukan, Katie Burns and Petersen for a seventh-place finish in a time of 8:13.34. The Tigers finished one-tenth of a second ahead of Southwestern.

Julia Rubinstein recorded a season-best time of 1:02.58 in the 100 butterfly. Rasmussen's mark of 1:13.00 in the preliminaries of the 100 breaststroke was a season best, as was Petersen's effort of 1:03.30 in the prelims of the 100 backstroke.
