The quartet of freshman Kenneth Mende, senior Roman Trussov, sophomore Jerzy Twarowski, and freshman Jack Smith swam to a 21st place finish in the morning preliminaries. They finished with a time of 3:10.06.
The top 16 teams advanced for a second swim in Thursday night’s finals.
Trussov also was named Iowa’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree.
Iowa returns to the pool Friday for the 200-medley relay, and Trussov will compete individually in the 100 breast. Action begins at 9 a.m. (CT).
