WATKINS GLEN — It was a record-setting day for area swimmers and divers at the Girls’ Swimming & Diving Invitational at the Glen.

Corning’s Angie McKane had an all-American consideration time and pool record in the 100 fly, finishing just .03 off her state championship time from last year, despite it being just midseason.

The Hawks’ 200 free relay qualified for states during the meet in one of the best races in the state this year. Shenendehowa won the relay in 1:40.24 and Corning was second in 1:40.41. The two times are currently the two fastest times in the state this year.

Corning’s Brooke Terwilliger qualified for states again this year after finishing third in the diving competition at 480.80. The state cut is 440. Sophie Meuwissen of Fairport won at 546.45, more than 100 points over the state cut.

In the 200 medley relay Corning’s team of Maria Kuksenkova, McKane, Audra Hilker and Carolyn Heckle finished second in 1:54.95. Horseheads team of Anna and Sibby Lowe, Grace Shelhamer and Gabby Janeski took third in 1:54.97.
