GREENSBORO, N.C. – Clara Baker experienced the thrill of becoming an All-American Thursday night. With a chance to recapture the magic less than 24 hours later, the Ursinus College freshman wasn't ready to give it up.

Baker set a new program record in the 200-yard butterfly prelims at the NCAA Division III championships, then obliterated it in the finals to place 10^th overall and earn All-American status for the second time in as many nights. The freshman's sizzling time of 2:03.60 was more than 1.5 seconds ahead of her clocking in the prelims, which was already a second better than the previous school benchmark.

Baker is the first Ursinus freshman to earn multiple All-American honors since Jen Derstine in 1991.

Seeded 32^nd in the event, Baker exceeded expectations and then some, lowering her seed time by well over two full seconds in preliminary action to place 13^th with a clocking of 2:05.12 and earn a spot in the consolation finals. In the evening session, she shattered it again with a time that outpaced two swimmers in the final heat.

Baker's prelims time outpaced the previous school record – held most recently by sophomore Katherine Porter – by just over a second, making her the fourth swimmer to hold the school record this season. Her latest historic feat came a day after she became the first Ursinus freshman All-American in 25 years with a 15^th-place performance in the 100-yard butterfly.

Freshman Peyten Lyons placed 22^nd in the 100-yard backstroke prelims (56.78).

While Baker gets Saturday off after her remarkable weekend, senior Corinne Capodanno and Lyons will swim the 100-yard freestyle and 200-yard backstroke, respectively, as the national championships come to a close on Saturday.
