Big Ten Women’s 100 Backstroke

Wisconsin freshman Phoebe Bacon started the session out with a fast swim in the 100 backstroke. Bacon touched the wall in 52.22, a little slower than her seed time, but that is to be expected in the prelims.

Two other swimmers were sub-53 as Ohio State junior Emily Crane took the second seed in 52.61 and Wisconsin junior Mara Newman was third at 52.90.

Northwestern junior Miriam Guevara took the fourth seed (53.10), followed by Michigan sophomore Mariella Venter (53.23), Northwestern sophomore Emma Lepisova (53.30), Penn State junior Marie Schobel (53.46) and Minnesota senior Emily Cook (53.52).
