Wisconsin Crushes UC-San Diego, UCLA Women in West Coast Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University of Wisconsin Badgers traveled to La Jolla, Calif., to begin their spring competition season against UC-San Diego and the women from UCLA. Both the women’s and men’s meets saw Wisconsin have dominant performances, winning all but one event during the contest.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin women’s team of\u00a0Maggie Wanezek<\/strong>,\u00a0Hazal Ozkan<\/strong>,\u00a0Phoebe Bacon<\/strong> and\u00a0Hailey Tierney<\/strong> topped the 200 medley relay in 1:39.68. Ozkan added a win in the 50 breaststroke (29.03) and later the 100 breast (1:02.78), followed by Bacon winning the 100 butterfly (53.59) and 100 IM (55.47). Tierney claimed first in the 50 freestyle (22.87) and 50 fly (24.51).<\/p>\n

Abby Carlson<\/strong> of the Badgers captured the 500 free (4:51.49) and 100 free (50.90), and Mack McConagha<\/strong> was the winner of the 100 backstroke (53.63) and 50 back (25.37).\u00a0Blair Stoneburg<\/strong> topped the 200 free (1:51.90), with Callahan Dunn<\/strong> providing a win in the 200 IM (2:02.57). The team of Carlson, Bacon,\u00a0Abby Wanezek<\/strong> and Stoneburg combined for a time of 3:22.53 in the 400 free relay, winning by almost three seconds.<\/p>\n

The only non-Wisconsin win for the women came in the 1000 free, where UCLA’s Ashley Kolessar<\/strong> edged out the Badgers’\u00a0Maddie Waggoner<\/strong> by eight hundredths, 10:06.12 to 10:06.20.<\/p>\n
