WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Junior Valeria Silva (Lima, Peru/Alexander Von Humboldt) of the No. 10-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team earned a 25th place finish in the 100-meter breaststroke Thursday (Nov. 30) at day one of the U.S. Open at Purdue's Boilermaker Aquatics Center.
Silva, who owned a seed time of 1:03.58 heading into the event, touched the wall in 1:13.98 after a first-split mark of 34.85 and a second-split clip of 39.13. She narrowly missed qualifying for the 'C' final, falling .20 seconds behind the 24th-place finisher.
