The University of Michigan is well represented at the Tokyo Olympics. On Sunday night, swimmer Maggie MacNeil claimed the first gold medal for a women’s Wolverine swimmer in more than 50 years by winning the 100-meter butterfly race with a time of 55.59 seconds.
This was the second medal win for MacNeil, following a silver in the women’s 4x100 freestyle relay the day before. The London, Ontario native won these medals for her home country of Canada.
Another Wolverine swimmer, Catie DeLoof, earned a bronze medal from USA’s third-place performance in the same 4x100 freestyle relay.
