Purdue’s Emily Fogle raced her way into third in 2:08.07, while Michigan’s Emily Kopas (2:09.48) and Carolyn McCann (2:12.22) collected some important team points with fifth and seventh-place efforts.
Michigan remained in the lead, 1217-1069.5, against Indiana. Ohio State (778), Minnesota (757.5) and Purdue (617.5) held steady in the top five.
