BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University junior Brooklynn Snodgrass picked up a bronze medal in the 400 medley relay on the final day of the Pan Pacific Championships to highlight a week of international competition for current and former IU swimmers.
Snodgrass was part of Canada's 400 medley relay team that took third in a time of 3:59.85 at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia. Earlier in the week Snodgrass took 10th in the 100 backstroke (1:00.57) and 10th in the 200 backstroke, setting a school record in the process with a time of 2:09.76.
Former Hoosier Cody Miller swam for Team USA at the same meet, finishing ninth in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.76) and 11th in the 200 breaststroke (2:13.40). By virtue of his swim in the 100 breaststroke at the USA Swimming National Championships earlier this month, Miller has earned a spot on Team USA for the 2015 World Championships.
Also this past week the brother-sister duo of Eric Ress and Justine Ress represented France at the European Championships in Germany. Eric Ress, who recently completed his career at IU, went 26.33 in the 50 back prelims while Justine, a senior on the Hoosier squad, clocked a 29.15.
In the 100 backstroke, Justine advanced to the semifinals, posting a 1:02.53 in her semifinal swim. Eric went 56.23 in prelims. In the 200 backstroke it was Eric that advanced to the semifinal round finishing 11th overall with a time of 1:59.24. Justine went 2:17.91 in her prelim swim.
The Hoosiers are not quite done with a summer of international competition as freshmen Blake Pieroni and Cody Taylor will represent Team USA next week at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Kihei, Hawaii on the island of Maui.
