GREENSBORO, N.C. – Sophomore Emma Shuppert's school-record time of 51.89 in the 100 backstroke earned honorable mention All-America status as the Duke swimming & diving team concluded day three of the 2021 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championship on Friday at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C.

Freshman Catherine Purnell made her NCAA Championship debut in the 400 individual medley. A native of Manassas, Va., Purnell recorded a career-best time of 4:13.00 in the event to improve her fourth-place time in Duke history. She placed 26th in the event at the meet.

Junior Shayna Hollander also competed in the 100 backstroke. She placed 42nd in the event with a time of 53.53.

Freshman Sarah Foley represented Duke in the 100 breaststroke. Foley clocked a 1:00.81 in the event to place 43rd overall.
