Jena Root qualifies 12th with new school record
Jena swam a beautiful 100 back, breaking her old school record by over three tenths and moving up into a tie for 12th in the NCAA Women's Championships. She went a 58.53.
She swam a beautiful race, keeping her turnover up on the last 25 and hitting her walls very well. We can still improve the 3rd 25, so with a sub-:30 second 50, there's good reason to hope that we might even see a 57+ tonight.
Stay tuned...it's going to be fun.
