OMAHA, Neb. – Nikki Daniels and Madison Strathman represented Arkansas swimming in the 100-meter breaststroke preliminaries Monday at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Team Trials.
Strathman, a rising sophomore from Kearney, Missouri, finished 57th overall with a time of 1 minute, 10.80 seconds. It was her third-fastest time ever in the event. A two-time All-American who competed for the Razorbacks from 2011-15, Daniels was 119th overall in 1:13.76. The swimmers with the 16 fastest times among all 13 heats advanced to the evening semifinal.
Quotable
“Madison had a strong swim today,” head coach Neil Harper said. “She has really been working on some new, improved techniques, and we are getting there.” She performed well on this big stage and gained some valuable experience and confidence. We are looking forward to her 200-meter breaststroke in three days.”
