COLUMBUS, Ohio – Washington State swimming wrapped up competition at The Ohio State Invitational with another impressive day highlighted by a win in the 200 Breaststroke by senior Presley Wetterstrom. The Cougars finished the weekend fourth with 553 points, just behind the University of Kentucky and ahead of the University of Miami.

“We swam great today led by Presley (Wetterstrom) who won the 200 Breast by swimming a smart race against some of the best swimmers in the country,” Washington State Head Coach Tom Jager said. “Our sprint swimmers swam tough, we had impact swims from every class and overall, it was another good weekend of swimming for the Cougars.”

Wetterstrom won the 200 Breaststroke, breaking her own school record after touching the wall in 2:11.24, also good for an NCAA Standard B mark. It was Wetterstrom's team-leading seventh win of the season. Fellow senior Frederikke Hall finished the same race seventh, a season-best time and the eight-fastest in school history.

Junior Kendra Griffin opened the day for the Cougars with an eight-place finish in the 1650 Freestyle, a career-best and the second-fastest time in Washington State history. Redshirt-freshman Jessica Marston also posted a time of 16:50.83, the fourth-fastest time in school history.

In the 200 Backstroke, senior Loree Olson led the way, finishing ninth with a season-best 1:57.97, the third-fastest time in school history. Freshman Jasmine Margetts add a time of 1:59.25, good for fifth in school history for the event. In the 100 Freestyle, sophomore Hannah Bruggman just missed out on a school record, finishing fourth with a 49.99, meeting an NCAA B standard time. In the “B” heat of the same event, Haley Love produced the fifth-fastest mark in school history with a 50.35 and junior Addisynn Burch recorded the seventh-fasted time with a 50.67.

In the 200 Butterfly, Margetts just missed out on a NCAA B standard mark with a season-best 1:59.61, tying for the second-fastest time in WSU history. More spots among the WSU top-10 in the 200 fly were taken over as junior Elise Locke posted the fifth-fastest time (2:00.21) and Griffin recorded the seventh-quickest time (2:00.66).

Washington State closed the three-day tournament by placing two teams in the top-7 of the 400 Freestyle Relay. The team of Bursch, Bruggman, Ciera Kelly and Love swam a WSU season-best 3:21.73 to finish fourth in the event while the team of Anna Brolin, Anna Rosen, Rachel Thompson and Locke finished seventh (3:25.17).

The Cougars will have the Thanksgiving holiday weekend off before returning to action Dec. 5 at Seattle University.
