ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Fresh off a third-place finish at the Big Ten Championships, five members of the No. 16-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team will look to post season and personal-best times at the Last Chance Meet on Sunday (March 3) at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.

Note

• Malia Amuan is coming off a strong performance at the conference championships. Amuan reached a B final in all three individual events she took part in and finished inside the top 10 in two of those events. Amuan logged an NCAA "B" cut time in all three events at West Lafayette, Ind., but will look to improve on those times and punch her ticket to the NCAA Championships.

• Senior Claire Donan was a critical piece in the Wolverines' third-place effort at the Big Ten Championships. The breaststroke specialist reached the A final in both the 100-yard and 200-yard events, taking eighth and seventh overall, respectively.

• In her Big Ten Championships debut, freshman Lexi Greenhawt made a strong impression, scoring in all three individual events she took part in. The highlight of Greenhawt's meet was in the 50-yard freestyle where she finished 10th overall with a personal-best time of 22.38.

• Devon Kitchel is coming off a solid meet at the Big Ten Championships, posting a personal-best of 2:11.25 in the 200-yard breaststroke to finish sixth overall. Kitchel also competed in both individual medley events, finishing seventh and 17th in the 200 and 400-yard races, respectively.

• Rounding out the Wolverines heading to Columbus is Ella Jo Piersma. Piersma logged three B-cut times at the Big Ten Championships, including a personal-best mark of 22.46 in the 50-yard freestyle.

• Following the Last Chance Meet, Michigan divers will head to Louisville, Ky., for the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships on March 14. Divers with qualifying scores will travel to Athens, Ga., for the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships on March 20.
