LA VERNE, Calif. --- The weekend wrapped up on Sunday for Biola swimming and diving at the La Verne Winter Invite. A pair of school records were set on the final day, while both teams finished amongst the top five in a field of strong competition.

16 women's teams competed at the winter invite, while the Eagles landed in fourth with 827 points. Two NCAA DI foes finished ahead of BU, while CSU East Bay was the only DII school to beat out the Eagles.

"I thought both our teams finished the invitational with grit and energy!" commented Head Coach Nathan Harding. "We got to see some amazing mid-season efforts! We've put a lot of work in during the fall so it's exciting to see some fast swimming in November!"

Nathan Griffin added to his amazing weekend with another school record. The sophomore set a new 100 backstroke record three times between Friday and Saturday and came for another school record on Sunday.
