Minnesota senior Jillian Tyler was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week after an impressive weekend at the Minnesota Grand Prix that included three gold-medal performances. The Big Ten weekly award is Tyler’s second of the season and sixth of her Golden Gopher career.
Tyler captured USA Swimming Minnesota Grand Prix titles in both the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke, clocking NCAA “A” qualifying times in both events. In addition, Tyler’s time of 58.22 in the 100 breast broke her own school record and ranks as the fourth-fastest short-course time in U.S. history. She swam a season-best time of 2:08.24 in the 200 breast.
The Gopher All-American was also a member of the gold-medal winning 400 medley relay that posted an NCAA “B” time of 3:38.57.
