Another reason is that they put their top swimmers in the top events. Despite the final outcome, the meet had some close races. Busch won the 100-freestyle, .09 seconds faster than Drury freshman Megan Krueger, who is ranked No. 1 in NCAA Division II in that event. It came down to the touch - I guess I just have longer arms. Sophomore Andrea Newton swam the 200-backstroke after Busch's race.
Newton is ranked first in the event.
Busch usually swims in the 400-freestyle relay, but Huston did not place her in the race for the meet against Drury. So I was in the medley relay. At this point in the year, Huston said the Bulldogs have trained as hard as they can for the remainder of the season. At this point, I just hope we stay healthy.
