Tanko Collects Four Lifetime Best Performances

After a weekend of competition, Beatrix Tanko, a junior from Budapest, Hungary, recorded four lifetime-best swims at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Westmont, Ill. 

Beginning on Friday, Oct. 17, Tanko finished eighth in her heat with a time of 25.23 in the 50-meter free. 

The next day, she went on to record a lifetime performance by over a second in the 50-meter butterfly prelims, notching a 26.56. Her 100-meter fly performance was a place short of a finals appearance with a 58.25 swim. 

To complete her weekend in Illinois, the Hungarian representative finished seventh in her heat for the 100-meter freestyle with a 55.33 performance. 

Tanko will be back in action with the Huskers Friday, Nov. 7th, when the Big Red take on the Kansas Jayhawks at the Devaney Natatorium at 4 p.m. (CT).
