Jorgenson Sets Pool Record in Husker Victory

Nebraska's Gena Jorgenson set the Devaney Center Natatorium pool record, clocking a 9:53.58 to win the 1,000 freestyle, as Nebraska swimming and diving defeated Illinois, 168-132, in its final home dual of the season.

Jorgenson, a freshman from Aberdeen, S.D., earned the first of ten titles for the Big Red on Saturday. Her 1,000 freestyle time was a career-best by over 15 seconds and currently ranks third in school history. She went on to tab a pair of runner-up finishes in the 500 freestyle (4:51.96) and the 400 IM (4:19.23).

Shannon Stott chipped in her fifth 200 butterfly title of the season in 1:58.
