FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Junior Heidi Kucera qualified for the 200-yard breaststroke finals with the fifth-fastest preliminary time as UC Davis competed on the final day of the Huksy Invitational at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center Saturday afternoon. UC Davis only competed in the prelims on the final day with the exception of the 1,650 freestyle.
The Aggies finished 7th during the three-day invite with 287 points while USC took the overall team title.
The Aggies only competed in prelims on Saturday so they could catch an earlier fight back to Davis to give their student-athletes more time to study for next week's final examinations.
The 1,650 free was the only final in which the Aggies participated. Junior Kathryn Jovino was the top UC Davis finisher in 15th place at 17:47.46.
Kucera put up a time of 2:18.24 in the 200 breast to qualify for her first "A" final of the invite. In addition, freshman Kayleigh Foley and sophomore Amanda Holman each qualified for the "B" finals in the 100 free. Foley was just .04 seconds off the school record.
UC Davis will take the remainder 2008 to concentrate on training and enjoying the holiday season. The Aggies return to action Jan. 10 at home with a double dual with San Jose State and Fresno State.
