2010-11 Season Outlook
Jehan Atoe (pronounced jeh-HAHN a-TOH-ee) is back after a strong freshman year and hopes to make even bigger contributions to the team as a sophomore. Atoe will be relied upon in the freestyle and backstroke events after strong showings at the 2010 Big 12 championships. Atoe competed in six different events as a freshman and looks to continue using her versatility to NU's advantage.
2009-10 (Freshman)
Atoe made an immediate impact on the Husker squad as a freshman. She set two of her personal best times at the 2010 Big 12 Championships in the 50-yard freestyle (24.35) and the 100-yard backstroke(58.49) which put her in fifth place on NU's season performance list. Atoe also notched eight top-five finishes on the year, four of them coming in the 100-yard backstroke.
