WEST FARGO, N.D. – South Dakota men's and women's swimming and diving team came away with three titles inside Hulbert Aquatic Center Thursday during two of the Summit League Championships.

Kopp, a junior, blazed to a season-best time of 20.35 to win the 50 freestyle sprint race for the second straight season.
 
Fairbanks, a sophomore, posted a career best total of 281.45 on the one-meter diving board to claim her second Summit League crown and move up one spot to fourth on the school's all-time charts.
 
Meanwhile, the 400 medley relay was one of four new school records during the second day for the Coyotes, who clocked 3:14.75 to easily erase a mark that was established in the fall at 3:18.69.

Isabel Fairbanks, a senior, earned All-Summit League honors with a runner-up in the 200 IM in 2:05.07, a personal best.
 
The Coyotes had seven other swimmers compete in the 'A' finals and finish in the top eight of their respective events on day two.
 
Kahn and Christina Spomer, a pair of freshmen, each tallied personal best times in the finals of the 50 free, finishing fifth and sixth respectively. Kahn touched in 23.22 to move to second on the all-time charts while Spomer finished in 23.38 to move to fifth all-time.
