Day three of the 2015 NCAA Division III Swimming & Diving Championship Meet was Friday and a pair of Foresters were in action. Senior Christina Pekar placed eighth in 1-meter diving for her second All-American performance of the week and sophomore Sam Freedberg broke his own team record while placing 20th in the prelims of the 200-butterfly.
Pekar finished the finals with 418.95 points, improving 6.55 points from the afternoon prelims. The 23 points she earned for Lake Forest Friday night and by placing seventh in Wednesday's 3-meter competition rank the Foresters 25th in the team standings. Pekar completed her career as one of 13 athletes in program history to finish among the top 16 in the nation in an individual event four times in her career.
Prior to Pekar's performance, Lake Forest sophomore Sam Freedberg posted the 20th-fastest time in the prelims of the 200-butterfly. His 1:50.75 was just .53 seconds off the time he would have needed to qualify for the evening's consolation final and .08 seconds better than the tean and conference record he set at the Midwest Conference Championship Meet on February 15.
The competition will conclude on Saturday and the Foresters' final competitor at the meet will be freshman Victoria Karker, who will swim the 200-backstroke.
