Trojans sit in 12th place through three days of competition.
Federal Way, Wash. - USC sophomore Minna Abraham turned in another First Team All-American finish in the 200y freestyle to highlight the third evening of competition for the Trojans at the NCAA Championships.
Through three evenings of competition, USC sits in 12th place with 90 points. Virginia leads the way in first with 383, followed by Stanford and Texas.
The third day of action saw Trojan sophomore Abraham blast a school record-worthy time of 1:40.56 to finish runner-up in the 200y freestyle. The sophomore's time makes her the first Trojan in history to swim a sub-1:41.00.
