Toledo brought home a fourth-place finish at Cleveland State's Magnus Cup Invitational on Nov. 20, where they captured 20 personal-best times and 23 top-10 finishes. Jovana Duric had a third-place finish in the 1650 freestyle, while Lindsey Creek placed eighth with a personal-best time. Kennedy Lovell finished four of five events in the top five including runner-up in the 200 freestyle. Lauren Kilgore achieved four top-five finishes, including runner-up in both the 200 IM and 100 butterfly.
About the Open Water Championships
The event first began in 2016 at Lone State Lake in Lawrence, Kan., but this year's race will be the first time the event is swam at Florida International University. A total of 239 athletes – 141 women and 98 men – will compete in this year's race. The top five finishers for each gender will receive an automatic invitation to the USA Swimming 5K Open Water Championship in April 2023 and the men's and women's team with the lowest score will be crowned champion. The team scores are based on the top three finishes with individual swimmer's place acting as their posts.
