The senior blasted a 55.88 100 Breaststroke – New American, U.S. Open, NCAA, Big Ten Championship and Indiana facility Records. Teammate Bailey Andison got the session started on the right foot for the Hoosiers after her come-from-behind win in the 400 IM. They remain in first place as a team by over 100 points.
Michigan also doubled up on wins with efforts from Maggie MacNeil in the 100 Butterfly and Siobhan Haughey in the 200 Freestyle. Both swims were meet records. Other new Big Ten marks came from the Wolverine 200 Freestyle Relay, as well as Minnesota’s Sarah Bacon in Three-Meter Diving.
