1/14/2000 12:00:00 AM | Women's Swimming & Diving
Leading the way for U-M was junior All-American Jennifer Crisman (Hudsonville, Mich./Jenison HS), who finished with two first-place performances. She had the top time in the 200-yard freestyle at 1:52.39 while also finishing first in the 50-yard freestyle at 23.36.
The remaining first-place finishes were the result of a balanced effort as seven other Wolverines -- including three seniors -- turned in top times. Senior All-American Shannon Shakespeare (Winnipeg, Manitoba/Kelvin SS) placed first in the 100-yard freestyle, clocking in at 51.54. Senior Hanna Shin (Inverness, Ill./Fremd HS) placed first in the one-meter dive with an NCAA zone diving qualifying mark of 268.73. Senior Emily Cocks (Albion, Mich./Albion HS) had a first-place effort in the 200-yard breaststroke (2.24.72).
Junior All-American Melissa Sugar (Newburgh, Ind./Evansville Day School) finished with the victory in the 500-yard freestyle at 5:00.42. Sophomore Andrea Kurrle (North Attleboro, Mass./North Attleboro HS) finished first in the 200-yard butterfly in 2:07.66.
Two freshmen turned in top times for Michigan as Lindsay Johnson (Oxford, Mich./Marian HS) finished first in the 1,650-yard freestyle (17:14.05) and Erin Abbey (Cleveland, Ohio/Mayfield HS) had the top time in the 200-yard backstroke (2:03.56).
In relay competition, the Wolverines placed first in the 400-yard medley relay as Abbey, Shakespeare, Crisman and Sugar turned in a time of 3:51.11.
The Wolverines will host Rice in their next meet on Saturday, Jan. 22, at Canham Natatorium. The meet begins at 4 p.m.
