KEENE, N.H. 12/3/07 - Sophomore Jackie Foster (Goffstown, N.H.) had a record-setting day winning three events to lead the Keene State College women's swim/dive team to the 2007 Little East Conference Championships at UMass-Dartmouth's Tripp Center Pool on Saturday. The Keene State men also had a record-setting weekend at the ECAC Division III Meet that took place at the Nassau County Aquatic Center in East Meadow, N.Y.

Keene State women won their fifth overall and second straight LEC title handily with 605 points. Host UMass-Dartmouth was a distant second with 271 points.

"I expected us to do well, but I never thought we'd swim our fastest times of the year," said KSC Coach Jack Fabian, whose Owls won 10 of 13 swim events.

Foster, a transfer from UConn set a KSC and pool record in the 1,650 freestyle (18:11.73) breaking the record (18:17.9) set by Kaitlin Pryor in 2006. She also set pool marks with her victories in the 200 free (2:00.40) and the 500 free (5:18.76.).

Sophomore Kristine Trutor (Holden, Mass.) also had a big day for the Owls winning the 100 back (1:02.53) and 200 back (2:18.74). Freshman Rachel Mondello (Stoneham, Mass.) was also a double winner with victories in the 50 free (25.22) and the 100 free (55.93).
