Evans eclipses 25-year-old school mark at Big 12 Championships

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas sophomore Joanna Evans toppled a 25-year-old school mark, and senior Madisyn Cox lowered her own school mark in the 200 IM, as No. 3 Texas swept night two at the 2017 Big 12 Championships.

Evans kicked off the night by breaking the long-standing school mark in the 500-yard freestyle, where she was victorious in 4:36.97. The swim broke the previous school mark of 4:37.73 set by Olympian Erika Hansen at the 1992 NCAA Championships. It also took down the Big 12 mark of 4:37.81 set by Texas A&M's Cammile Adams at the 2011 Big 12 Championships.
