Utah Tech combined to break three more school records, one pool record, and claimed four event victories on day two of the Trailblazers' two-team dual meet at Northern Arizona on Saturday at the NAU Wall Aquatic Center. 
 
Senior Skyler Lyon accounted for two of the event wins by sweeping both the 50 and 100-yard breaststroke races. Lyon shattered the 50 breast school record by more than a second and a half with a winning time of 29.21, then posted the seventh-fastest 100 breast time in program history with a 1:02.64 (altitude adjusted). She would later clock a season-best time in the 200 IM with a fourth-place 2:10.73 (altitude adjusted).
 
Fellow senior Eleonore Rembert followed suit with a pair of victories of her own, first in the 50 backstroke with an NAU pool record time of 25.91. Rembert would later claim victory in the 100 back with a season-best 54.78 (altitude adjusted).
 
Two more school records fell on Saturday, including freshman Cera Mallory besting the 1,000 free record by more than seven seconds with a runner-up time of 10:06.78 (altitude adjusted). Mallory also posted the second-fastest 500 free time in Utah Tech history with a third-place 4:57.36 (altitude adjusted). 
 
Sophomore Tavia Stemmons etched her name atop the school's 50 fly record list as she sprinted to a runner-up time of 26.22. In fact, a trio of Trailblazer swimmers jumped into the top-three all-time in that event as senior Danyael Cuison clocked the second-fastest time in program history (26.28) to place third overall, and freshman Abigail Hill finished fifth with the third-fastest mark (26.53). Hill would also place second in the 100 fly (56.47 (altitude adjusted).
 
In addition, Utah Tech recorded runner-up showings in both relays, as the team of Rembert, Lyon, Hill and junior Mandy Farnum combined for the fourth-fastest 400 medley relay time in school history at 3:44.97 (altitude adjusted).
 
Then in the final event of the meet, Rembert, Stemmons, sophomore Natalia Zmierczak and Farnum swam to place second finish in the 200 free (1:36.80).

"This was a great day for our team - we are so proud of their effort and their racing against a great opponent," said Utah Tech Head Coach Shawn King. "We are feeling excited for the progress that we have made as a team through this point in the season. The ladies have done a great job preparing themselves to compete at the highest level and feel that their work will continue to show next month at the WAC championship meet."

Utah Tech will close out the 2023-24 regular season on Friday, Feb. 16, when the Trailblazers travel to Las Vegas to swim at the UNLV First Chance Invite.
