After finishing 17th in the nation in the 100-yard breaststroke, coming within .05 seconds of reaching the consolation finals of the event, has helped junior Katherine Brown earn her fifth Warrior of the Week award of the year and the sixth of her career. Brown was the first Warrior woman to compete at the NCAA Championships in 38 years. Her time of 1:04.38 in the breaststroke was just five-one-hundredths of a second off the time of 1:04.33 from Bates' Abigail Gibbons, which would have guaranteed Brown a spot in the consolation finals and an Honorable Mention All-American accolade from the CSCAA. Brown entered the event seeded 19th at 1:03.88, turned in a split of 30.58 before posting a 33.80 on the return trip. She also posted a 54.41 in the 100-yard freestyle, just two one-hundredths behind the top time in program history of 54.39 set by Julie Harahush set in 2005, and a 25.04 in the 50-yard freestyle during the championships.
