USC freshman swimmer Kristine Quance of Northridge shattered a meet record and Cal State Northridge diver Dawn Burton made a big improvement on the final day of the NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis.
Quance turned in a time of 2:10.69 in the final of the 200-yard breaststroke, taking almost a full second off Dorsey Tierney’s meet record of 2:11.54, set in 1991.
Burton, who is the first Matador diver to compete in the Division I swimming and diving championships, finished seventh in the 10-meter platform diving with a score of 505.20.
Burton’s efforts gave Northridge 12 points, enough for 36th place.
