CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For sophomore Natalie Burnett (Sevierville, Tenn.), it was like the plot from the movie "Groundhog Day"; for freshman Paul Ungur (Baia Mare, Romania), winning a conference championship was something new.

Burnett won two races at the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Championships for the second consecutive day and Ungur took the men's team first-ever gold on third day of the Bluegrass Mountain Conference Championships at Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center in Charlotte, N.C.

Burnett won the 100 Fly by setting a school and meet record with a time of 53.62. She beat her previous Carson-Newman record by over four seconds. Burnett also took gold in the 100 Back by swimming the event in 54.34, besting the school record by three seconds.
