    Northern Michigan freshman\u00a0Rachel Helm\u00a0<\/strong>pulled somewhat of an upset in the women’s 100 back, out-touching top seed\u00a0Yekaterina Rudenko\u00a0<\/strong>from Drury, 53.79 to 53.83. The two were neck and neck the entire race, with Rudenko going out a few-hundredths faster and Helm coming back exactly one tenth faster.<\/p>\n
    Queens senior\u00a0Hannah Peiffer\u00a0<\/strong>was just behind in 53.91, the last woman in the field under 54 seconds. She was out identical to Rudenko, but was just out-touched down the stretch.<\/p>\n

    West Florida senior\u00a0Theresa Michalak\u00a0<\/strong>grabbed her third individual NCAA title of this meet tonight and added a second NCAA record when she touched first in the 100 breaststroke in 59.51. That makes her the first Division II athlete to swim under a minute in the event and defended her title in this event from last year’s meet.<\/p>\n
    Michalak was out fast in 28.18 and didn’t look back, but Drury’s\u00a0Bailee Nunn\u00a0<\/strong>was right behind the whole way, also swimming under a 1:00 to go 59.69 in a personal best time. The two were light years ahead of the field, with 3rd place going to Nova Southeastern’s\u00a0Malin Westman<\/strong>. For reference for how fast this event was this year, Westman and Drury’s\u00a0Zuzanna Chwadeczko\u00a0<\/strong>both posted times that would have won the event at last year’s meet.<\/p>\n
