LA MIRADA, Calif. --- It was a day filled with personal best swims at Splash Aquatic Center as Biola continued its efforts at the 2015 Pacific Collegiate Swim & Dive Conference championships.
 
The Eagles were dropping seconds all over the place, but most important was that it dropped time from its 400-medley relay, which is a great sign headed into the NAIA National Championship meet, where the Eagles always have very competitive relay teams.
 
The Eagles' women's relay team finished seventh (3:58.92) and the men's side placed sixth (3:35.19).
 
"It was great to see both our relays drop a couple of seconds off their season-best times," said Head Coach Eddie Shepard. "I think that going into nationals we are going to have some very competitive relays."
 
Biola added one member to its 2015 nationals team on Friday, as Jennifer Walker swam a 1:01.90 in the 100-butterfly prelims to qualify for her second trip to nationals in as many years.
 
After punching their ticket to the national meet yesterday, Chad LeJeune and Dominique Kaijser each added one more event to their schedule with successful swims today.
 
LeJeune swam a 1:00.23 to qualify in the 100-breaststroke and Kaijser posted a nearly sub-1:00 (1:00.78) in the 100-butterfly to add a stroke event to their 50-freestyle qualification.
 
"We had a really strong two sessions of swimming today," said Shepard. "Overall we saw a lot of personal-bests and some very fast swims."
 
The Tixier sister had the best individual placement in any event for the Eagles, each grabbing one top-6 individual finish.
 
Christine Tixier sped to a fourth-place finish in the 100-butterfly (:55.53), while Lisa Tixier finished sixth in the 400-IM (4:35.69). Both swimmers were the top NAIA swimmers to place in their respective events.
 
Shane Brinson placed third in the three-meter dive (258.05) on the final day of diving competition.
 
The Eagles are back in action on Saturday morning for the final day of swimming. The events include: 200-backstroke, 200-breaststroke, 200-butterfly, 100-freestyle, 1,650-freestyle and the 400-freestyle relay.
 
"We're really looking forward to tomorrow and some more great swims," said Shepard.
