AUSTIN, Texas – On day two of competition, sophomore Calypso Sheridan earned her first All-American honors, while also breaking a seven year-old Big Ten record in the 400 IM.
Sheridan started the day with a fourth place finish in the 400 IM prelims, setting a new school record with a time of 4:03.30.
One of two sophomores to make the final, Sheridan came back for the evening finals and finishing in a time of 4:01.35, dropping almost three seconds on her person best and breaking the previous Big Ten record of 4:01.41.
