Scouting Northwestern
This weekend marks the season debut for Northwestern, which is in its first year under new coach Jeremy Kipp. Tyler Lis is a swimmer to watch; he scored points in the 200-yard backstroke, 200-yard IM and 400-yard IM at last year's Big Ten Championships. The Wildcats finished ninth as a team and did not have any qualifiers for the NCAA Championships.
