The Hawkeyes went on to notch a 2-3-4 finish in the 100 back, led by Mende’s second-place time of 49.14. Freshmen Forrest White and Steve Fiolic finished third and fourth, clocking in at 50.28 and 50.87.
Mende’s strong night continued, swimming to another second-place finish in the 200 IM (1:55.04) and Iowa’s lone individual first-place finish in the 200 back (1:48.57).
