Austin, Texas ? Danielle Herrmann led Kansas University on day two of the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships, capturing a NCAA automatic qualifying mark in the 200-yard individual medley.

Herrmann swam her way to a third-place – and school-record – time of 2:00.21, earning her second consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships.

KU’s 400-yard medley relay additionally shattered a team all-time record, recording a 3:40.19, good for a second-place finish behind first-place Texas A&M. Team members Terri Schramka, Herrmann, Ashley Leidigh and Maria Mayrovich broke the previous record of 3:42.54, achieved at last year’s Big 12 meet.

The Jayhawks finished day two in third place (185.5 points) behind Texas A&M (325) and Texas (271 points). Missouri (167.5), Iowa State (124) and Nebraska (117) round out the team standings.

“This was by far best day two of Big 12s we’ve ever had,” KU coach Clark Campbell said. “Danielle and Joy lit it up in the IM.

“Our number of returners in the 50 free showed our depth. Both of our divers, Meghan and Hannah finished in the top-eight with outstanding performances and our relay finish sets us up well for the rest of the meet.”

Other KU results: Schramka, 16th in the 500 free, 4:56.60; Joy Bunting, ninth in the 200 IM, 2:02.51; Mayrovich, fourth in the 50 free, 22.95; and divers Hannah McMacken (253.40 points, sixth place) and Meghan Proehl (246.20 points) seventh in the one-meter competition.

The meet continues today.
