The Iowa women’s swimming and diving team remains in ninth-place overall after Day Two of the Big Ten Championships in West Lafayette, Ind.

Minnesota leads the championship meet, with Michigan nine points behind.

Despite swimming season-best times in two events, the Hawkeyes sent only two competitors to the finals.

Junior Katarina Tour swam the second-fastest 200 individual medley in school history — 2:01.51 — to finish seventh in the prelims.

Tour followed up with the third-fastest time in Iowa history in the 200 IM finals, good for a 15th place finish and an NCAA ‘B’ cut time.

The Stockholm, Sweden native now holds the first, second, and third best 200 IM finishes in Iowa program history.

Fellow junior Veronica Rydze notched a seventh-place win in the 1-meter dive prelims, posting a 272.80. Rydze then posted season-best score of 281.10 in the 1-meter finals, good enough for an 8th-place finish.

Junior Verity Hicks posted the eighth-best 500 freestyle time in school history, but failed to qualify for the finals.

Friday’s action begins with prelims at 10 a.m. and finals at 5:30 p.m. Seven events are scheduled to take place.
