COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Led by victories in the 200 medley relay, 100 breaststroke and 200 freestyle, No. 25 Purdue women's swimming and diving remained in first place through day two of the Ohio State Invitational Saturday evening.

The Boilermakers have amassed 762 points through the first two days of the three-day meet and hold a 146-point lead on second-place Kentucky.

Abby Jagdfeld established a new Purdue freshman record (1:46.40) in the 200 freestyle en route to winning the event. Emily Fogle was victorious in the 100 breaststroke (1:01.19). Hannah Manger, Fogle, Kylie Vogel and Anji Li teamed up to win the 200 medley relay with the fourth-fastest time (1:39.45) in program history.

Purdue's men's divers are also competing in Columbus this weekend. Steele Johnson (414.85) was victorious on 3-meter Saturday. Jamie Bissett placed third after having the top score of the prelims (406.90).

The Boilermakers finished 1-2-3 in the A final of the 200 free while accounting for six of the 10 swimmers in the race. Rhiannon Sheets and Allie Davis finished close behind Jagdfeld, who initially eclipsed Sheets' freshman mark while being the top qualifier in prelims (1:46.86). In the finals, Jagdfeld won the race with the third-fastest time (1:46.40) in program history.

Eight Boilermakers scored team points in the 200 free and Purdue had seven of the top 16 finishers in the 100 butterfly to add to the team's lead. All four Boilers that competed in both the 100 breast and 400 IM scored.

Nika Karlina Petric and Manger each posted the second-fastest time in program history in an event. Manger joined 100 back record holder Allie Smith as the only Boilers to ever record a sub-54 second time, finishing the prelims with a mark of 53.99. She settled for second place in the A final. Petric was also the runner-up in the A final of the 400 IM while shaving .14 hundredths off her career-best time, which now stands at 4:14.44.

Mary Beth Dunnichay also posted a runner-up finish in 3-meter diving. Teammates MacKenzie Tweardy (sixth) and Samm Reese (seventh) advanced to the final as well.

The Boilermakers took second in the 800 free relay, finishing as the runner-up behind a Kentucky team that posted an NCAA A Cut time. Jagdfeld, Sheets, Petric and Davis recorded a time of 7:14.54 that was the sixth fastest in program history.

Action concludes Sunday with prelims at 9 a.m. and finals at 3 p.m.
