Feb. 3, 2008 ST. LOUIS - The Saint Louis swimming and diving teams helped head coach Jim Halliburton earn his 200th dual-meet win on Saturday afternoon with a pair of victories at Eastern Illinois in the regular-season finale. The women's team won 161-81, and the Billiken men came out on top 131-100. Halliburton's seven-year career record is 200-58-1. Anna Larson (St. Charles, Mo. / Francis Howell), Elena Ramirez (Champaign, Ill. / St, Thomas More) and Jessica Schwarz (Ballwin, Mo. / Parkway West) each finished first in two events on Saturday. Larson won the one- (229.30) and three-meter (240.00) diving events. Ramirez captured first in the 200 fly (2:10.74) and 200 breast (2:28.81). Schwarz out-touched the competition in the 500 (5:23.45) and 1000 (10:57.66) free races. It was the usual suspects leading the men's team to victory over the Panthers. Brad Byars (Marion, Ill. / Marion) captured first in the 50 (21.64) and 100 (47.48) free while Michael Dahle (St. Louis, Mo. / Lindbergh) won the 200 (1:46.72) and 500 (4:55.95) events.
