Greensboro, N.C. – Junior swimmer Daisy Platts completed her first NCAA Division I Swimming & Diving National Championship appearance Saturday morning, placing 24th in the 200 backstroke during the preliminary round of competition. The meet was held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
Platts, who entered the meet seeded No. 36, swam 1:54.75 to exceed her seed spot by 12 places. That came just one day after finishing 21st in the 100 backstroke, a 16-spot improvement over her seed in that event. Her time was less than one second shy of earning an alternate spot to Saturday evening's finals (the top 18).
