Colorado State senior Kristen Schneider closed out one of the most successful careers in Ram swimming history with solid performances in the NCAA Swiming & Diving championships in College Station, Tex., March 18-20.
The Regina, Saskatchewan native, recorded a 36th place finish in the 200-individual medley with a time of 2:15.81 on Thursday before touching the wall in 22nd in the 100-meter backstroke (1:01.32) on Friday. The senior then came in 19th in the 200-meter backstroke on the final day of the Championships with a time of 2:12.43.
