MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's swim and dive team took down Minnesota 158-142 on Friday in front of a record crowd of 968 at the Soderholm Aquatic Center.

The meet came down to the 400 freestyle relay as the Badgers were able to fend off Minnesota by over a second, finishing in 2 minutes, 54.08 seconds, in front of a crowd of 968 fans. 

Senior Chris Morris led the way for the Badgers, winning the 100 and 200 freestyle. The Minnesota native shattered the Soderholm pool record in the 200, touching the wall at 1:33.65.
