Arkansas sending seven to Columbia for last chance

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Seven Arkansas swimmers will compete at the NCAA Last Chance meet in Columbia, Missouri, this weekend, as each try to cut time in hopes of qualifying for the NCAA Championships.

Prelims will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday morning from the Mizzou Aquatic Center on the campus of the University of Missouri. Finals will follow at 5 p.m.

The Razorbacks headed to Columbia are seniors Chelsea Tatlow, Jessie Garrison, Chloe Hannam, Olivia Weekley, juniors Madison Strathman and Marlena Pigliacampi, along with sophomore Ayumi Macias.

Last week in College Station, Texas, the Razorbacks finished 10th at the 2018 SEC Swimming and Diving Championships.

As a team, Arkansas combined for 28 NCAA ‘B’ cuts, along with one A-finals appearance, three B-finals appearances and six C-finals appearances.

Macias earned one B-finals appearance in the 500 free, finishing 10th overall. Garrison earned her spot in the 200 fly B-final, finishing 12th overall, while Pigliacampi qualified for the C-final, finishing 19th overall.

Strathman qualified for the C-final in the 100 breast, finishing 18th. Hannam earned two B-finals appearances, finishing 23rd overall in the 400 IM and 12th overall in the 200 back.
