LAST TIME OUT
Despite losing to the Badgers, Northwestern was able to notch a slew of number-one finishes and season-best times.

Annika Winsnes (Singapore/United World College), continued her performance as one of the Wildcats' top sprint freestylers. She finished first in the 100 free with a time of 50.60, her best time of the season. She also finished second in the 200 free (1:50.05). In the 200 fly, Ellen Stello (Shorewood, Wis./Shorewood) crushed her competition with a time of 2:02.12.

Freshman Olivia Rosendahl (Los Angeles, Calif./Immaculate Heart) dominated versus the Badgers. She took home first place from the 3-meter springboard with a score of 347.85 and took home second place from the 1-meter springboard despite notching a season-best score of 289.43.

On the distance free front, Lauren Abruzzo (Denver, Colo./Kent Denver) and Ellen Anderson (Montgomery Village, Md./Gaithersburg) finished 1-2 in the 1,000 free.

Lacey Locke (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) and Melissa Postoll (Acworth, Ga./Kennesaw Mountain) took home 1-2 finishes in the 200 back, as Locke touched in at 2:00.42 and Postoll swam a time of 2:01.79.

TOP TYR
At last year's TYR Invitational, Northwestern recorded a first place finish out of seven competing teams.

It was then that Stello set the Norris Aquatics Center pool record in the 200 fly and Winsnes shattered the pool 100 free record. In all, the Wildcats broke four pool records and met 11 NCAA 'B' qualification standards at the meet.

UIC, Truman State and St. Louis all competed at last year's invitational, and return to Evanston this weekend.

GOING SWIMMINGLY
Versus No. 18 Wisconsin, several Wildcats set season-best times and scores, including Mary Warren (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead), who improved her best time in the 100 free to 51.88.

Maddy Sims (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove) recorded season-bests in both the 100 and 200 fly, with times of 56.74 and 2:03.85, respectively.

In her first competition of the young season, Katherine Senseman (Terre Haute, Ind./Terre Haute South Vigo) swam the 100 free in 53.59, good for third-best of any Wildcat in the event this year.
