Wisconsin sophomore Maggie Wanezek broke the Wisconsin pool record in the 200 backstroke less than two weeks out from the Big Ten Championships. Wanezek touched in a 1:49.47 to break the record by over a second, although the school does not give details on who the record previously belonged to.
Wanezek has been as fast as 1:48.39 this season which she swam during midseason, that swim also marked a personal best for Wanezek. Wanezek’s time sits at #2 in the NCAA this season only behind Virginia’s Claire Curzan who swam a 1:47.89 in October.
Brooke Corrigan also highlighted the meet for the Wisconsin women as she swam to personal best times in both breaststroke events. She swam a 59.71 in the 100 breast and a 2:07.97 in the 200 breast. Her 200 breast sits at #14 in the NCAA this season and the freshman will look for an NCAA invite come next month. Her previous best of a 2:09.29 had her sitting tied for 32nd in the NCAA.
The men’s side was highlighted by a battle between the Badgers in the 200 free as Yoav Romano and Dominik Torok tied for the win in a 1:34.37. Romano has been as fast as 1:33.71 this season while Torok’s time was a season best by almost three seconds as he now sits at #4 on the team this season. Both swimmers competed on Wisconsin’s 800 free relay at the 2025 Big Ten Championships.
Northwestern diving also traveled to the meet. Junior Adam Cohen broke the Northwestern school record in the platform event scoring a 421.10. That also broke the pool record that stood at a 409.85.
bacon did 400 IM and the finals vid looks like she went about 4:03.
also looks like taiko torepe-ormsby is no longer listed on their roster … huge loss for the men’s team.
