Jump won the 200 individual medley and was part of the winning 200 medley relay for the Badgers in a win over Wisconsin-Green Bay. The senior from Illinois went 2:01.75 in the 200 IM.

Ozkan, a native of Turkey, was third in that 200 IM. She also joined Jump on the winning medley relay.

Weigand, a redshirt freshman, picked up a win in the 100 freestyle in a tie of 44.21 seconds. He also added a place on the 200 medley relay, which went 1:24.54.

Torok won an event for the fourth straight meet, earning his third freshman of the week honor. The Hungarian went 1:58.55 to win the 200 breaststroke.

Muller, a junior from Arizona, won both diving events. He scored 367.88 to win 1-meter and 339.15 to claim 3-meter, both Zone qualifying scores. It’s his first career inclusion in the weekly Big Ten Honors.

Wei, a senior, competed with the Nittany Lions against West Virginia in a diving-only meet. She finished second there on platform, her score of 235.35 good for Zone qualification and her first diver of the week nod of the season.
