AUBURN, Ala.. – The 200-yard medley relay team of sophomore Jennifer Molchan and the freshmen trio of Allie Voss, Kelly Obranowicz and Zoe Cooper-Surma swam a school record 1:46.31, highlighting the Vanderbilt’s performance at day one of the 2009 Southeastern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships in Auburn, Ala. Vanderbilt’s record 200 medley relay placed 10th overall.
