MADISON, Wisconsin, October 25. ONLY a freshman, Yi Ting Siow wasted little time making her mark on the Wisconsin program, thanks to a stellar weekend performance at the Southern Methodist University Classic. Siow’s showing landed her Big Ten Conference Swimmer of the Week honors.
As Wisconsin placed fourth in the team standings at the SMU Classic, Siow set a school record in the 200-yard breaststroke.
