Delaney Duncan closed out the season in the 200 Breast
ATLANTA (EMUEagles.com) - One day after earning All-American Honorable Mention accolades in the 100 Breaststroke, freshman swimmer Delaney Duncan (Galesburg, Ill.-Galesburg) closed out a phenomenal first season with the Eastern Michigan University women's swimming and diving team in the 200 Breaststroke Saturday, March 19. Duncan nabbed 54th-place finish in the event to close the book on the 2015-16 campaign.
Coming into the race with a seeded time above 2:16.00, Duncan turned in a career-best in prelims, but missed the cut for Saturday's final heats. Clocking in with a time of 2:14.33, the Galesburg, Ill. product shaved more than two seconds off her previous best before touching in with the third-fastest time in program history. Duncan's time bested swimmers from Ohio State, LSU, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Texas.
With the NCAA Championships completed, the Green and White now turn its attention to training for next season. The Eagles quest for a Mid-American Conference Championship begins in October.
