MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – Emily Kahn put a finishing bow on top of her Summit League Championships resume by contributing to two more league titles on Saturday inside Freeman Aquatic Center.
 
The junior from Denver, Colorado, had a hand in five Summit League titles over the course of the four-day championship and she earned All-Summit League honors in all seven of her events, three individual and four relays.
 
The two titles on Saturday gave the women's team five in the championships and propelled the Coyotes to a runner-up finish with 719.5 points as Denver, who triumphed for the 11^th straight season, had 980 points. It was the third straight season the women's team finished as meet runners-up and the fifth time in the last six seasons under coach Jason Mahowald.
 
The men's team scored 472 points to place third, marking South Dakota's second straight third-place team finish and its seventh straight year finishing in the top three of the final team standings.
 
Kahn contributed to two of the seven school records that fell on Saturday, and six of the team total of 17 from the four-day meet.
 
Kahn successfully defended her 100 free title and became the most decorated Coyote female swimmer in the Summit League era now with four individual titles and four relay titles. Her school record clocking of 49.58 seconds moves her to fifth in Summit League history.
 
Kahn, who anchored the 400 medley relay to a win on Friday with a 48.59 split, topped that with an impressive come from behind effort to give South Dakota women its third league relay title of the weekend, this one in the 400 free relay. Her 48.54 anchor split made the difference as she joined teammates Gabbie Ahrendt, Skyler Leverenz and Carson White on a school record 3:21.15 to claim gold and close the championships in style.
 
Taylor Buhr, Camilla Brogger-Andersen, Joaquin Contreras-Fallico, Jack Berdahl and Mack Sathre all set individual school records on Saturday and four women swimmers – Grace Schultz, Zoe Afman, Phoebe Paarlberg and Taylor Horan – made their way into the Coyote Top 10 charts.
