COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Led by multiple-victory showings by Tracy Glaser and Nora Brolsma, Purdue women's swimming won eight events at the two-day Ohio State Winter Invite.
Glaser led the way with three individual victories, touching first in the 400 IM Saturday and the 200 breast and 200 IM Sunday. Nora Brolsma was victorious in the 100 freestyle and 100 butterfly Saturday and recorded a new personal season-best time in the 200 free Sunday.
Brittany Fozkos (100 backstroke), Carly Marshall (50 free) and the 200 free relay team of Ellie Roeing, Samantha Feulner, Julia Comodeca and Marshall were also winners at the eight-team weekend meet.
Fozkos' preliminary time of 55.62 in the 100 backstroke was the second fastest of the year for the Boilermakers. Glaser recorded new personal season-best times while winning the 200 breast (2:19.38) and 400 IM (4:25.84).
Brolsma won the 100 free (50.73) with a personal season-best time in an event that saw Purdue swimmers finish 1-2-3. Marshall and Feulner were right behind Brolsma among a field of 10 swimmers. Comodeca won the B final of the same event.
Marshall posted her season-best time (23.42) in the 50 free in the morning prelims, later winning an event that saw the Boilers have the top four finishers.
Megan Roach finished as the runner up in the finals of the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Madison Monteiro was second to Glaser in the 400 IM and Marshall took second in the 200 free after posting a personal season-best time in the prelims.
