Freshman Mary Jania took both the 100 and 200 breast, cracking TCU's top-10 in both. Jania's 1:03.57 in the 100 breast places her fourth all-time while her 2:16.41 puts her at eighth.
Dusan Babic swam away with the 500 free (4:30.46) with the next closest swimmer finishing over three second behind him. The sophomore also won the 200 free (1:39.23).
What's Better Than Two? Three
