Chicago Women Finish Third at UAA Swimming and Diving Championships

From University of Chicago Athletics

The University of Chicago women's swimming and diving team took third place at the conclusion of the 2014 University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships over the weekend. Emory University won both the men's and women's team titles for the 16th-consecutive year.

Final team scores and individual champions were announced on Tuesday. The final results were compiled from the official UAA Championships site at Emory University and the satellite site at Case Western Reserve University. Inclement weather in the Atlanta area forced three of the eight conference schools, including UChicago, to relocate to the satellite meet in Cleveland, Ohio.

UChicago's women were represented at the top of the podium by Abby Erdmann. The freshman won the 100-yard butterfly (55.55), and also broke the UAA record with a mark of 55.50 in the prelims.

All-UAA honors were given to any individuals or relays that placed in the top three of each event. The men's team garnered All-UAA recognition in 15 events (including five relays) and the women's team earned All-UAA in 11 events (including five relays).
