RESULTS
EVANSTON, Ill. — The seniors went out winners in their final competition at the Norris Aquatics Center and the first years showed the program is in good hands as Northwestern picked up a 163.5-134.5 victory over Iowa.
The Wildcats opened the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay behind first years Calypso Sheridan, Sophie Angus, Ilektra Lebl and senior Mary Warren. The victory set the tone for the day as the quartet of swimmers went on to combine for eight of the 'Cats' nine wins in swimming events. Junior diver and defending platform national champion Olivia Rosendahl swept the diving events with a 298.05 in the 3-meter and 291.45 in the 1-meter.
Senior Sydney Modeas led a trio of Wildcats' in the 1,000 free with a first-place finish in 10:17.93. First-year Rachel Tsenge finished second with a season-best 10:19.24 and sophomore Irune Andres came in third at 10:22.77
Sheridan earned three individual victories in addition to leading off the winning 200 medley relay team. The Australia native won the 100 back in 55.48, the 200 back in 1:59.92 and swam away from the competition in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:04.66. Her victory in the 100 back sparked a stretch of four-straight wins by the 'Cats, including victories by Angus in the 100 breast (1:03.58), Lebl in the 200 fly (2:03) and Warren in the 50 free (22.92).
Warren notched a NCAA 'B' cut in the 50 free for the second time this season. Angus used a strong kick to pick up her second win of the day, just narrowly edging her Iowa counterpart with a 2:18.79 in the 200 breast.
In addition to the 'Cats sweeping the 1,000 free, the first-year trio of Sheridan, Angus and Lebl also swept the 200 IM. Chicago's Big Ten Team finished the day with 11 victories and 14 additional top-3 finishes.
Northwestern will be back in action on next Friday and Saturday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a Big Ten tri-dual versus the host Golden Gophers and Purdue in its final tune up before the Big Ten Championships.
