Michigan’s Siobhan Haughey, who was uncertain for this week’s Big Ten Championships, is back to racing.
This morning during the Day 2 preliminaries, Haughey posted a time of 1:55.53 in the 200 IM, a time that was bested only by Wisconsin’s Beata Nelson (1:55.20).
Haughey was reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury and it was unclear whether or not she would be racing this weekend at Ohio State. She also did not race last night, after being expected to race on Michigan’s 800 free relay, and perhaps their 200 medley relay.
With Haughey’s return, Michigan looks safer to take the 2018 Big Ten crown. Without her, they look to have the depth to hold off Indiana and Ohio State, but it certainly would’ve made for a much closer meet in her absence. Should she continue to race the rest of the weekend, Michigan will be all the more likely to come out on top after the final day of racing on Saturday.
Haughey has been stellar this year, and she currently ranks in the top 5 nationally in the 100 free, 200 free, and 200 IM.
Hope she wins swimmer of the meet!!
Happy to hear that she is competing. Great news for Michigan’s 800 free relay! Even if Haughey wasn’t at full strength, they would likely drop three or four seconds by adding her.
what about beata nelson’s win? this article was all about SH’s time and not Beata’s win.
anonymous – we have a whole article recapping the top seeds from the morning session (remember, nobody has won anything yet). You’re correct. This article was all about Siobhan Haughey – it’s a different article, related to the fact that she’s been out with injury for much of the season, and there was uncertainty about whether she would swim.
It would get a little old if we only ever wrote articles about the one swimmer that won, wouldn’t it? 😉
The Return of the GOAT.
