Siow earns her first career swimmer of the week honor after helping the Badgers to a fourth-place finish at the SMU Classic. The Seremban, Malaysia native posted an NCAA 'A' qualifying mark and set a Wisconsin school record, finishing first in the 200-yard breaststroke in a time of 2:11.59.
Siow also claimed first place finishes and recorded NCAA 'B ' marks in the 200 and 400-yard individual medley events with times of 2:01.51 and 4:16.34, respectively. She wrapped up her performance by helping her team record a fourth-place finish in the 800-yard freestyle relay (7:31.57).
Siow and the Wisconsin women's swimming and diving team will battle Arizona and Big Ten foe Penn State Friday and Saturday in Tucson, Ariz.
