Western Washington University senior Emily Przybelinski from Everett helped design, build and manufacture Drekar, a human- powered submarine that set a new team record for speed at the recent International Submarine Races in Bethesda, Md.
Drekar finished as the top West Coast submarine and reached a high speed of 4.78 knots. It placed third in its class, sixth overall and won honorable-mention awards for best use of composites and overall design.
More than 25 teams competed in the event.
