OKLAHOMA CITY - TCU's men's and women's swimming team finished their first day of competition at the Chesapeake Elite Pro-Am Meet inside the Oklahoma City Community College Aquatic Center.

Jeff Gettel, Edgar Peyro, Ryker Saunders and Dan Bodin put together a 3:27.69 that was good for fourth-place.

Jennifer Oster, Nikki Pappas, Amanda Vincent and Maria Paula Alvarez placed 10th in the same event with a 4:01.49.
Senior Garcia-Montes enjoyed success at the event for the second-straight year, notching a 1:51.90 in the 200-individual medley. His time was good for third place in the finals. The Miami, Fla., native also finished third in the 200-breaststroke with a time of 2:04.34.
Freshman Fleming continued her impressive run, clocking a 2:24.69 in the 200-breaststroke. She touched the wall sixth in the finals, building on her performance at the U.S. Short Course Nationals when she notched the third-fastest time in the event all-time at TCU.
