DALLAS, Texas - The Indiana University women's swimming team sits in second place with 153.5 points, just 4.5 points behind leader USC after day one of the SMU Classic in Dallas, Texas.
The two-day event which features eight swimmers each from USC, Indiana, North Carolina, Louisville, SMU and Miami, concludes Saturday night.
