ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Northwestern notched season-best times in both the 200 medley and 800 free relays at the Big Ten Women's Swimming & Diving Championships on Wednesday afternoon.

The quartet of Lacey Locke (Carmel, Ind./Carmel), Julianne Kurke (Atlanta, Ga,/Parkview), Julia Pratt (Vincennes, Ind./Vincennes Rivet) and Mary Warren (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) formed the quartet which set the season standard (1:40.67) in the 200 medley relay.
