Purdue finished the day on a high note with the 400 medley relay team of freshman Katharine Telfer, sophomore Erica Chandler, junior Christine Leupold and Hentschel grabbing a victory by swimming a 3:52.06.

Purdue head coach Cathy Wright-Eger expects to see great competition throughout the rest of the meet.

"We came out strong today. The rest of the meet is definitely going to be a dog fight. We have to be in our prime tomorrow in order to have a chance to win this meet."

The Boilermakers will return to action tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. for the final day of the tri-meet against Florida Atlantic and Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
