STRAIGHT FROM THE POOL: "Arguably our strongest day thus far! Phoebe showed a lot of poise as a freshman to win a Big Ten title and Mara's great season continued with a podium finish in the 100 back. It was fun to watch out two senior swimmers - Savanna Carlson and Alex Reddington finish their careers today - with Alex making her first ever A final in the 200 Fly. One more day of racing!" - Yuri Suguiyama
