IU swimmer earns bronze at Commonwealth Games

IU swimmer and Calgary, Alberta native Brooklynn Snodgrass claimed a bronze medal Tuesday to finish her Commonwealth Games at the Tollcross Swimming Centre in Glasgow, Scotland.

The 50-meter backstroke race was one of two for Snodgrass, who finished in 27.97 seconds, a new Canadian record. She beat out Emily Seebohm of Australia by .01 seconds to claim a spot on the ?podium.

Snodgrass also made the championship final of the 100-meter backstroke earlier in the games and placed eighth.

Snodgrass earned a spot on the Canada National Team after a record-breaking 2013-14 season when she became the second NCAA Champion in IU history by winning the 200-yard backstroke.

A big year earned the sophomore Big Ten Swimmer of the Year honors.

Snodgrass is also the reigning Big Ten champion in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke.

Before returning to Bloomington for her junior season, Snodgrass will continue international competition next month at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships in Australia.
