The women&#8217;s team led by junior <strong>Brooke Zeiger<\/strong>, who snagged wins in the 400 medley and 1,650 freestyle,\u00a0took first place in all but one relay (200 freestyle relay). On the men&#8217;s side sophomore <strong>Bowe Becker<\/strong> is one to look out for come championship season having won the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach <strong>Kelly Kremer<\/strong> is happy with the progress his team has made thus far. &#8220;I like where we&#8217;re at right now,&#8221; Kremer said, &#8220;going into the weekend I was really confident that it was going to go well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However Kremer still believes there is far more in the tank for the Gophers this season. &#8220;We&#8217;re a better team right now, and a more prepared team I think moving into the championship season then we were a year ago,&#8221; Kremer said.<\/p>\n<p>Last year the Gopher women finished third in the Big Ten and 16th nationally. The men were fourth in the Big Ten and 20th at NCAA&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, Zeiger&#8217;s performance in the 1,650 set a new University of Minnesota\u00a0and Big Ten record with a time of 15:44.00. The junior\u00a0said that although she came down in yardage the week prior, much of her success was due to eagerness. &#8220;We were excited, Kelly got us pumped up and he really wanted us to swim fast,&#8221; Zeiger said.<\/p>\n<p>Zeiger&#8217;s finals time is the second fastest in the NCAA this season behind <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>&#8216;s 15:03.92 at the Ohio State Invitational in November. Having posted that time will give Zeiger the opportunity to swim the 1,650 at night at the Big Ten Conference Championships unlike previous years. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited that I&#8217;ll be able to race the top milers in the Big Ten and then set myself up to race against the top milers in the country,&#8221; Zeiger said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_127847\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-127847\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127847\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/brooke-zeiger-minnesota-wncaa-di-2015-1174-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"brooke-zeiger-minnesota-\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-127847\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Peter H.
