Saori Haruguchi, representing Oregon State, set a meet record en route to winning the event with a time of 1:52.39. It was a great way to cap off Mills’ first trip to NCAAs.“I was extremely impressed with Kate,” Clarke said. “She is so confident, and that really paid off going into a meet like this. There are other teams with 15 girls swimming and girls...
