RESULTS
EVANSTON, Ill. — Junior Will Hofstadter dominated the competition in the 100 and 200 breaststroke and first-year DJ Hwang picked up a win in the 1,000 free, but the Northwestern men's swimming and diving program wasn't able to keep up with the depth displayed by Big Ten counterpart Iowa.
The Hawkeyes came away victorious in the final meet at the Norris Aquatics Center this season, 194-101.
Hwang continued the strong start to his NU career with a 9:23.14 in the 1,000 free, winning the event by over 10 seconds. The Honolulu, Hawaii, native picked up a second-place finish later in the meet with a 4:36.78 in the 500 free.
Hofstadter swam away from the competition in both the 100 and 200 breast. The junior touched the wall in 55.84, nearly two seconds ahead of the second-place finisher, in the 100 free and won the 200 breast by a full second with a 2:03.53.
The Wildcats also got a strong performance from junior Justin Hanson in the 200 fly and 200 IM. Hanson finished third in both events, touching the wall in the fly in 1:50.83 and finishing the 200 IM in 1:55.76. Junior Tyler Lis finished second in the 200 IM with a 1:51.97.
Senior Almog Olshtein put a bow on the final home meet of his career with a 20.64 in the 50 free to finish second.
Northwestern will be back in action on next Friday and Saturday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a Big Ten tri-dual versus the host Golden Gophers and Purdue in its final tune up before the Big Ten Championships.
