Nebraska swimmers Gena Jorgenson and Beatrix Tanko stormed into the finals in their events on Sunday at the World University Games in Germany.
Jorgenson, a two-time All-American for the Huskers from Aberdeen, S.D., advanced to Monday's final in the 1,500-meter freestyle by posting a winning time of 16:23.82 in her preliminary heat. American teammate Kate Hurst added the second-fastest time in Sunday's prelims with a 16:26.26 to give Team USA the top two qualifying times in Monday's final.
Jorgenson's Husker teammate, Beatrix Tanko, advanced to the semifinals in the 100-meter butterfly on Sunday morning with a lifetime best of 59.27, which was the fourth-fastest time overall in the prelims. Tanko was even better in the evening session in Berlin, as the junior-to-be from Hungary dropped three-quarters of a second off her lifetime best with a 58.52 to take the No. 2 seed into Monday's final.
The finals of both the 100-meter butterfly (Noon CT) and 1,500-meter freestyle (12:14 p.m. CT) will open Monday's second session. A live video stream of the finals can be viewed at fisutv.com.
