Badgers complete the sweep
MADISON, Wis. — The No. 15 Wisconsin women's swim and dive teams wrapped up the first day of competition at the Badger Invitational with a sweep in all events.
How it happened:
Wisconsin put up a strong showing in the relay events, taking first and second in the 200 medley. The Wisconsin A team, bookended by the Wanezek sisters, touched the wall first in 1:36.17, just under a second shy of the crew's personal best this season.
Maggie Wanezek and Hailey Tierney picked up a one-two finish in the 50 free, coming in at 22.18 and 22.28, respectively. Both times mark top-10 all-time performances at UW in the event.
Six other Badgers picked up first-place finishes on the day. Senior Blair Stoneburg checked in at 4:39.60 in the 500 free as a duo of freshman Lily Van Heel and Arianna Zelen won their respective events, the 100 fly and 100 breast.
