Minnesota lost its annual Border Battle dual meet to Wisconsin, despite several event wins from its swimmers and divers. The Gophers claimed victories in both 200-yard freestyle relays, both 100-yard butterfly events, and multiple individual races and diving events.

By the Numbers
  • Men: Wisconsin 165.5, Minnesota 132.5.
  • Women: Wisconsin 182.5, Minnesota 115.5.
  • Minnesota won both 200-yard freestyle relays: the women finished in 1:30.08, and the men in 1:19.32.
  • Elna Widerstrom won both women’s diving events, scoring 307.35 on 1-meter and 339.08 on 3-meter.
Bottom Line

Minnesota delivered standout performances across swimming and diving, but Wisconsin’s overall scoring proved too much in both dual meets. The Gophers return to competition at the Minnesota Invite, Dec. 2–5.
