COLUMBUS, Ohio - Haley Black was the first to the wall in the B Final of the 100 fly on Friday night at the 2018 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at Ohio State. Aly Tetzloff and Breanna Roman also earned honorable mention All-America honors on the night.
100 Butterfly
A senior, Black matched what she did at last year's NCAA Championships, winning the consolation final, this time in 51.25, the fourth-fastest performance of her career. She had entered the heat as the top seed after posting a 51.61 in the morning.
"It was nice for Haley, senior year, to go out and win the B Final again and finish on a high note," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said.
Tetzloff earned her fourth All-America honor of the championships with a third-place showing in 51.57. That time represented the third-fastest performance of the junior's career in the event while the placing marked the first time she has scored in the event at the national meet.
"Aly was really close to a best time and swam a great race, putting herself in position to win," Hawke said.
100 Breaststroke
Roman, a senior, earned the first individual All-America honors of her career, finishing seventh in the consolation finals in 59.92. She had earned her way into the race off of a 59.50 during prelims, which placed her 11th.
"Another senior that has done so much for our program, Bre Roman had a great swim. It's a very tight competition but I'm proud of all three and the way they raced tonight."
3-Meter Springboard
Alison Maillard finished 44th with a score of 250.75.
