• The Short Story: Senior Elaine Lipkin broke her own school record in the 400 IM to lead the Johns Hopkins women's swim team on day two of the NCAA Championships. The Blue Jays are in 10^th place with 82.50 points and sit 12.5 points behind ninth-place Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
 
200 Free Relay
Hopkins opened the night by finishing in a tie for fifth place in the 200 Free Relay. Freshman Michelle Liu, junior Cecilia Cortez and seniors Sophia Girgenti and Kristen Alicea-Jorgensen finished in 1:33.31 for the fifth fastest time in program history.
 
400 IM
Lipkin then turned in her record-breaking swim as she finished in second place in the consolation final of the 400 IM. She dropped 1.2 seconds off her prelim time and finished just three-hundredths of a second out of first place. She also broke her own school record by seven-hundredths of a second.
