AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Denver men's and women's swimming programs continued to impress, setting four school records on Thursday night in a 10-final session on night two of the four-day Texas Invitational on Thursday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
Denver's women's 200 free relay opened up the night with a seventh place finish, as senior Johanna Roas (Munich, Germany) and juniors Morgan Wice-Roslin (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Heidi Bradley (Victoria, B.C.) and Morgan McCormick (Golden, Colo.) combined for a time of 1:31.20.
