EVANSTON, Ill. -- Seniors Brielle Bovee (Winter Park, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) and Christy Olin (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West) will join freshman Andrea Hupman (Lawrenceville, Ga./Brookwood) in representing Northwestern at the 2005 NCAA Championships March 17-19 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Hupman earned automatic qualifying times at the Big Ten Championships in the 100 and 200 freestyle, finishing second in both events. She will also participate in the 50 free at the NCAA Championships.
Bovee will participate in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events while Olin will swim in the 100 and 200 butterfly. Bovee was fourth in the 100 breast and third in the 200 breast at the Big Ten Championships, while Olin placed second in the 200 fly and sixth in the 100 fly.
Olin is making her second-consecutive appearance at the NCAA meet. Last year she also participated in both fly events, with her best finish coming in the 200 where she placed 21st.
Competition begins Thursday, March 17, with Hupman swimming the 50 free. For results and complete tournament coverage, visit the Purdue Boilermakers Division I NCAA Championships Web site.
