Wanezek breaks own pool record in 100 back
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin women's swimming and diving team defeated Minnesota, 182.5-115.5, in a home conference matchup on Friday, Nov. 6.
This Wisconsin win improves the team to 12-5 over Minnesota dating back to Oct. 30, 2009. The Badgers are 10-0 in conference against the Gophers, 7-2 at home and have extended their win streak to four straight meets when facing Minnesota.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Maggie Wanezek had another powerful performance for Wisconsin, setting yet another pool record in the 100 backstroke. Wanezek's time of 49.86 in the 100 back Friday night toppled her previous pool record of 50.30, set against Notre Dame in October. In addition to placing first in the 100 back, the junior won the 200 back (1:50.35) and led-off the winning 200 medley relay (1:35.77).
Freshman Taryn Weatherhead had an exciting night, setting a new personal best in the 200 fly (1:56.27) and placing first in the event. The Canadian also placed second in the 100 fly (52.94), earning additional points for the Badgers.
The 200 back was a 1-2-3 sweep for Wisconsin with Wanezek (1:50.35), Lily Van Heel (1:53.76) and Stella Chapman (1:54.89) earning first, second and third places respectively.
Off the boards, senior Ryane Neal placed second in both the 1-meter (277.13) and the 3-meter (294.75).
UP NEXT:
Both the swimming and the diving teams will travel south to Texas following Friday's contest. The swim team will compete at the Texas Invitational in Austin, Texas on Nov. 18-20. The divers are slated for the Southern Methodist University Invitational in Dallas, Texas on Nov. 19-21.
