The ladies started off the national championship with a bang on Wednesday night, as they finished 14th in the 800 Free Relay. They were originally seeded 20th to start the meet, and out swam that positioning by 6 places. Not only did they do well in the standings, but they also broke the old school record in the event, set in 2011, by over 3 seconds.

Action will resume on Thursday with the 200 Free Relay, 500 Free, 200 IM, 50 Free, 400 Medley Relay and the 1-Meter Dive. Prelims are in the morning, and finals are in the evening.

The final day of the championships was Saturday, and the Buckeyes were very successful on the day. Molly Kowal finished as national runner-up in the 1650 Free (Mile), with a new school record, nearly 5 seconds faster than her previous best. The other Buckeye to score team points on the day was Kathrin Demler, who finished 12th in the 200 Fly, with a new school record time.

That will wrap up the season for the women's team!
