St. Leo, FL - In the last leg of their central Florida trip, the Florida A&M Rattlers visited the St. Leo University Lions on Saturday afternoon at the Univeristy Pool. The Lion men and women both won 94-32. Despite the loss, the Rattlers continued to improve times in the pool.
On the women's side, the relay team of Yolanda Baylor, Alexandra Age, Bria Bennett, and Jasmine Leslie posted a team season best time of 5:18.66 in the women's 400-yard Medley Relay.
Each of the Lady Ratlers also continued to swim personal best times at the University Pool. In the Women's 400-yard individual medley, freshman Alexandra Age shaved three seconds off her lifetime best time. Her time of 5:21.35 also earned her third place.
Fueled by the Age's individual medley (I.M.) swim, sophomore Bria Bennett kept things moving by dropping over eleven seconds in the women's 200-yard butterfly. Her time of 2:54.88 earned her fifth place in the race and has also moved her up to fourth in the Top 10 performances in that event.
Senior Yolanda Baylor continued her ironwoman performance for the Lady Rattlers, swimming both of the sprint events back to back for the second day in a row. She finished fourth in the 50-yard freestyle(:28.46) and third in the 100-yard freestyle(1:04.27). Both times are season bests for the senior Mitchellville, MD native.
Sophomore Jasmine Leslie rounded out the individual accomplishments with her continued improvements in the women's 500-yard freestyle. Leslie finished third with a new lifetime best of 8:39.83.
The men's team also posted some great performances against the Lions. Freshman Alphonso Byrd-Davis notched two top three finishes for the day. He grabbed second place in the men's 50-yard freestyle with a time of :24.50, and then posted a season best time of :55.38 in the men's 100-yard freestyle for third place.
Freshman Nijyl Chavis rounded out the afternoon with his performance in the men's 200-yard breaststroke. The Social Cirlce, GA native swam a season best time of 2:36.80, which was good enough for fourth place for the Rattlers.
The Rattlers will be back in action early in 2010, as they host the College of Charleston Cougars on January 7th, 2010 at 3:00pm. The College of Charleston Men's Swimming team is the 2x and defending Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association Conference Champions.
