TCU travelled to North Texas University on Friday January 29 for a non-conference dual meet, but fell in a close meet 180-120. A slew of second place finishes kept the Horned Frogs in the mix of things for the meet, but ultimately, it wasn’t enough to get past North Texas.

Senior Mikayla Winkler and freshman Catherine Maxey were second and third in the 200 free, going 1:53.23 and 1:54.96, respectively. TCU’s highest finish in the 100 back was fourth by the freshman Ibrahim (58.51).

Roemer then took first in the 100 fly (56.97). Robertson was then second in the 200 IM (2:07.95). The team of Barczyk, Lohrberg, Roemer, and Winkler finished the meet off with a second place finish in the 400 free relay with a final time of 3:33.50.
