Wisconsin senior Phoebe Bacon surged to the lead on the 3rd 50 of the 200 backstroke and was able to barely hang on for the win, touching in 1:48.23. Bacon tells us what was going through her head during the race as well as where she is at looking forward to US Olympic Trials.
I sure prefer these post-race interviews where the swimmers are given a chance to recover, catch their breath and collect their thoughts, compared to the on-deck, immediately-after-the-race interviews.
So there IS a chance of a 5th year … ! or at least she didn’t say she was done. Bacon + Maggie Wanezek would be a deadly duo for the badgers, would be fun to see one more year of bacon especially w/ the new B1G landscape next year.
That would be amazing!
She just announced on her instagram that she’s coming back for a 5th. Kinda thrilled about that!
