...breaststroke—and an NCAA B qualifying time—Bill and Dan Jones demolished the competition and tallied NCAA qualifying times of their own with 1-2 finishes in the 200 butterfly, respectively. The twins—who finished only .06 second apart—set the tone for the meet by reaching personal bests while dominating an event that the Tigers usually control.“I talked to them before the meet,” Wollner said. “I told them there’s no one better than them in the league...
