Kelemen outscored the field on the three-meter by nearly 16 points with her score of 256.35 as well as accumulating a score of 254.35 on the one-meter.
In the backstroke, senior Lindsay Carlberg (Carmel, Ind./Carmel HS) cruised to a first-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke (2:00.82) while earning an NCAA B standard time as well as posting a second-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke (57.52). Carlberg, a two-time Big Ten champion, also placed second in the 200-yard individual medley behind teammate Sara Johnson (West Bloomfield, Mich/Lahser HS) along with competing on the squad that placed second in the 400-yard medley relay.
The other member of the team to secure a first-place showing was junior All-American Laura Kaznecki (Wolverine Lake, Mich./Western HS) as she outpaced the field in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.84.
Other Wolverines who added multiple points to the team effort were freshman Amy McCullough (West Bloomfield, Mich./Mercy HS) and sophomore Anne Weilbacher (Columbus, Ohio/St. Francis DeSales HS).
