Â
Wes Jekel also headlined for the Badgers, setting a team record in the 100 Back in the 400 Medley Relay (45.99).
Â
Jekel and the relay team (Andrew Benson, Erik Gessner, Jake Newmark) finished 18th in the 400 Medley Relay.
In the preliminaries, Benson finished 23rd in the 50 Free (19.47), Jekel finished 24th in the 200 IM and Josh Dannhauser got 24th in the 500 Free (4:15.87).

Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama
"Thus far, the Badgers have done a great job competing out here. In almost every case, we've improved our seed time and place. The highlight of our day was watching Tazman achieve Honorable Mention All-American status on 1-meter. Something that hasn't happened in almost 20 years! Wes led off our 400 Medley Relay and tied our school record in the 100 Back and the whole relay lowered our school record set earlier this month at Big Tens. We've got some big swims and dives tomorrow!"
