Psych Sheets for NCAA Championships Released

On Wednesday, the NCAA released the official swimming psych sheets for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships from March 15-17 in Auburn, Ala., as 11 members from the Indiana women's swimming team were selected to compete in the elite event. Senior Allysa Vavra led the way in seeding for the Hoosiers, as the record-setting swimmer earned top ten seeds in the 200-yard Individual Medley (5th), 400-yard IM (4th) and the 200-yard breaststroke (9th). Last month, Vavra set the IU records in both the 200- and 400 IM at the Big Ten Championships, posting the 15th fastest time ever in the 400 IM in the process of doing so. Senior Margaux Farrell, who was recently chosen for the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award, also earned three individual selections to the NCAA Championships.
