Editor's Note: This is the eighth in a 10-part series recapping the Top 10 sports moments of the 2009-10 year at Biola as compiled by the Biola Sports Information Office. A new moment will be revealed each day with the top moment of the year announced on Friday, June 18. See the bottom of the page for a schedule of releases and links to past moments.

Junior April Smith made school history when she came from behind to win the 200 breaststroke at the 2010 NAIA Swimming and Diving Championships on March 6, becoming Biola's first swimming National Champion.

Smith, who was sitting in seventh place at the midway point of the race, came roaring back over the final 100, eventually out-touching the field with a time of 2:21.66. Her time was three seconds better than her morning qualifying time and nearly six seconds faster than her school-record time set last season.

Smith's incredible performance capped another impressive day for the Eagles, who added seven new school records in the final day of the competition. Overall, Biola set 19 school records over the weekend, establishing new marks in over half of the 36 swimming events this week.

In the overall standings, the women's team finished seventh, improving on their eleventh place finish from last year, while the men managed to finish ninth overall despite only having six men competing.
