  • Emily Lundgren of Washington State earned a B final swim and finished 14th in the 200 breast in finals. That was the program’s first finalist since 2007. Lundgren notably just missed out on the A final as she tied USC’s Kaitlyn Dobler in prelims and then was in a swim-off.
  • Cincinnati’s Joleigh Crye became the team’s first finalist since 2017 as she made the B final of the 100 breast.

Duke just edged out rival UNC at NCAA, after finishing just below them at ACC due to a really bad DQ call for one of Duke s relays.

I think Gena Jorgenson might be the first swimmer originally from SD to place this high at D1 NCAAs!
