Swimming & Diving: Fedor Mironov Wins 100 Yard Freestyle, Earns First NCAA "B" Qualifier For LSSU

Fedor Mironov continues his historic second season for Lake Superior State's Swimming and Diving program, setting two more firsts by winning the 100 yard freestyle at day two of the Don Kimble Invitational.

Mironov's time of 44.88 won a midseason race for the first time in LSSU history and also marked the first time a Laker swimmer met the NCAA "B" qualifying standard, making him eligible for invitation to the NCAA Division II National Championships.

He jumped out to a terrific start, leading the first 50 yards at 21.54. A strong finish secured the win for the sophomore, who secured his place in Lake Superior State history.

But there's more to Mironov's day. He also raced in the 800 yard freestyle relay, leading off for LSSU, which set another program best. His 200 yard leg also set a school record.

Men's teammate Dimitrij Mijailovic started the day off well with a school record of 1:00.52 in the 100 yard breaststroke in an early morning race. He also swam the second leg of the 200 yard medley relay, which broke the school mark at 1:36.91. Mitar Sarkovic, Mijailovic, Mironov, and Adyn Stoddard raced very well and continue to impress.

Women's swimmer Andrea Ayuso Mendez set more records for Lake Superior State as well. Her time of 2:08.33 in the 200 yard backstroke is a new program best, and she swam the first 100 yards in record time as well. Her last 50 yards were the sixth best in the event out of 24 swimmers as well, an excellent finish for the first-year star.

The Don Kimble Invitational continues for its third and final day on Sunday. The first two days brought immense success for the second-year Lakers program, as it continues to achieve new heights.
