IU's women's swimming and diving team finished tenth at the NCAA National Championships this weekend. It was the third year in a row with a top ten finish.
The Hoosiers set milestones in West Lafayette with senior Kate Fesenko becoming the first IU swimmer to ever win an individual title.
Fesenko went into the meet with the top seed in the 200-
backstroke, but was set to compete in four other events.
Friday, Fesenko was out touched by less than two tenths of a second in the 100-backstroke.
Fesenko said she showed her best time and was happy with her second place finishing, but was looking forward to her events on Saturday.
With the pressure on in the 200-backstroke Fesenko delivered.
She broke the school and Big Ten record with a first place
finish.
"I don't really think about winning or losing; I was ready to race and give my best to try to win," she said. "It is a great feeling, and representing IU is really important to me."
