After racking up 25 first-place finishes at the Jean Freeman Invite last year, the Gophers are looking for a repeat performance this weekend.
The invite has been an annual event at the University Aquatic Center since 2012, in honor of legendary Gophers women’s swimming and diving coach Jean Freeman.
Freeman died at the age of 60 in 2010 after an ongoing fight with cancer.
She spent 31 years as the Gophers’ head women’s swimming and diving coach before retiring during the 2003-04 season.
