LYNCHBURG, Va. - Anna Moers' school-record 100 Backstroke swims highlighted the Georgia Southern swimming and diving day on Friday on the third day of the 2019 CCSA Championships on the campus of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

The Eagles remained in fourth place once scores from the six events were tallied. Liberty (1366.5) continues to lead the field, while Florida Gulf Coast (1190) is in second and Incarnate Word (773) is in third, ahead of Georgia Southern, who has 698 points for the meet with one day of competition remaining. Campbell (598.5) is in fifth, followed by UNC Asheville (571), North Florida (475), Gardner-Webb (464) and Howard (335)

"We had another great day of racing," Georgia Southern Head Coach Amanda Caldwell said. "It was nice to have freshman Melissa Cox back to race in the fly and medley relay. We had a lot of women step it up tonight to move up positions. Fantastic racing from Anna Moers as she broke the school record in the 100 Back and podium. And to top it off, our medley relay dropped four seconds and moved up in positions. I could not be more proud of this team right now."

In the morning preliminaries, Moers broke the 100 Backstroke school record by swimming a time of 54.66, bettering the previous record of 54.81, set by Mykala Arnold in 2016. In the evening final, Moers swam a time of 54.78, good for third and a spot on the podium as well as her first career All-CCSA individual honor.

The day's first final was the 100 Butterfly, where Melissa Cox paced the Eagles by finishing 15th with a time of 57.10, earning 15 points. The 400 IM saw Bre Stuart finish seventh in a finals time of 4:26.91, earning 26 points. 

The Eagles' top finisher in the 200 Freestyle was Randi Kiser, who placed 20th in a time of 1:55.20, earning eight points. Mary James Coates was the Eagles' lone entrant in the 100 Breaststroke, where she finished 25th in a time of 1:10.15.

After Moers' record swim, the night concluded with the 400 Medley Relay, where the Eagles' team of Moers, Bre Stuart, Jessica Ware and Cox placed fourth in a time of 3:46.27, earning 58 points.
 

The CCSA Championships wrap up on Saturday with another six swimming events: the 1650 Freestyle, the 200 Backstroke, the 100 Freestyle, the 200 Breaststroke, the 200 Butterfly and the 400 Freestyle Relay.
