We are a dedicated group of women not only in the pool but also in the classroom. In 2023, we took third place in the Big Ten Conference! In 2024, we finished second in the Big Ten Conference and 9th in the nation! Most recently in 2025, we took third in the Big Ten Conference.
We look forward to getting back in the pool for another great season in 2026!
