SIU's Bergen second at international event
SIU sophomore swimmer Briley Bergen bettered her 10-kilometer time from this summer's World Championships by more than 14 minutes at the FINA Marathon Swimming World Cup event held in Cancun, Mexico, this past weekend.
Bergen's time of one hour, 50.58 minutes earned her runner-up honors in the final open water event of the 2003 World Cup Championship Circuit. Participants on the circuit earn points toward an individual open water world title. Bergen finished fifth in a similar event last year.
A nine-time U.S. Open Water National Champion, Bergen finished just .14 seconds behind eventual World Cup Marathon Swimming Champion Britta Kamrau (Germany).
