■ Freshman Julianna Prim (Starmount '09) continues to rewrite the record book for the Pfeiffer women's swim team. She set her seventh individual record Nov. 7 when the Falcons defeated Converse and Lenoir-Rhyne. Prim's latest record-breaker came in the 400-yard individual medley as she finished with a time of 4:39.57 -- and a 13-second margin of victory over her closest challenger. Prim also won the 100-yard butterfly and was on two winning relay teams.
Prim had another solid performance Saturday against Catawba, finishing first in the 200 freestyle (1:54.14) and 100 freestyle (53.39 seconds).
