INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Ashley Neidigh, the 2017 SEC Champion in the mile, brought home an eighth-place finish in the event at the 2017 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at the IU Natatorium on Saturday night in Indianapolis.
Neidigh brought home Auburn's highest finish in the event since 2009 with a time of 15:54.88. After placing 20th in the event a year ago, her 2017 Championships time is not only a personal record but also the 10th-fastest performance in school history. Her 1000 split of 9:37.44 is also a new school record.
"To see Ashley perform the way she did tonight is just outstanding," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said.
