Three events later, the Wolverines added to their point total again as Shakespeare turned in her third All-America Honorable Mention effort of the Championships with a 10th-place finish in the 200-meter freestyle, finishing in 1:59.31. Crisman closed out the scoring for the Maize and Blue, finishing 11th in the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 1:01.47.

Day 1 Results
N O T E S
The All-America Honorable Mention effort by the 200-meter medley relay team was especially noteworthy for Emily Cocks as it marks the fifth-year senior's first-ever NCAA Championships honor.
Through two days of competition, Shannon Shakespeare has two All-America awards (200 IM, 200 free relay) and three All-America Honorable Mention citations (400 medley relay, 200 medley relay, 200 free).
After the first two days, Jennifer Crisman has one All-America award (200 free relay) and has earned All-America Honorable Mention in three events (400 medley relay, 200 medley relay, 100 back).
Q U O T E S
Michigan Head Coach Jim Richardson
On tonight's performance and the overall outlook ... "We swam pretty well tonight. Our 200-meter medley relay did a nice job in holding onto 10th place. Shannon Shakespeare swam faster in finishing 10th in the 200-meter freestyle. Jenny Crisman was a hair slower [than in prelims] in finishing 11th in the 100-meter backstroke. We don't have easy speed but the kids are digging deep and swimming tough. We need to have a strong morning (in Saturday's prelims) in order to stay in the top 12-14."
