Gophers Sit Eighth after Day Two of Big Ten Championships
2/24/2021 9:00:00 PM | Women's Swimming & Diving
MINNEAPOLIS - With another day of competition at the 2021 Big Ten Conference Championships in the books, the Minnesota Gophers women's swimming and diving program dropped three spots from last night's placement to eighth with 164 points.
The highlight individual event of the day for the Gophers was the 50 free, as three Gophers qualified for the night's finals session. Sophomore Maggie Summit led the way for Minnesota, coming in 15th (22.77), while junior Olivia Bloomer and freshman Pyper Doo finished 21st (23.09) and 22nd (23.10), respectively.
Summit's finals time came in just behind her preliminary split (22.74), which marked both a lifetime best and NCAA 'B' Cut for the Rowley, Mass. native.
Sophomore Jordan McGinty was the lone Gopher to reach the night's finals session in the 200 IM, finishing 23rd overall in a time of 2:00.27, reflecting almost half a second improvement from her preliminary time.
The Gophers once again impressed in the night's sole relay event, as the team of Cook, Lezer, Linscott and Doo touched sixth (3:37.51) in the 400 Medley Relay.
Lifetime Bests
Four Gophers managed to haul in lifetime bests through day two.

Notable
Maggie Summit notched the first NCAA cut of her collegiate career in the 50 free preliminary session, setting a lifetime best in the process with her 'B' cut time of 22.74.
Quotable
"We continue to be so appreciative to be competing in the Championship," said head coach Kelly Kremer. "In every case, our best events are still in front of us. Three days of racing left and we will embrace every opportunity we have!"
Up Next
Competition will resume at 11 a.m. CT Thursday morning in the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center, with the 100 butterfly slated as the first event of the day, followed by the 400 IM and 200 freestyle. As is true for each day of the Championships, all the action can be caught on BTN+.
Thursday morning will also mark the beginning of the diving portion of both the women's and men's Big Ten Championships in West Lafayette, Ind. Diving will begin at 11:20 a.m. CT, and both the preliminary and finals sessions can also be found on BTN+.
