Irish Celebrate Seniors, Welcome Four Schools For Tim Welsh Classic

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a multi-month hiatus, Notre Dame women’s swimming and diving is back in action at home this weekend. The Irish will host Ohio State, Indiana State, Akron and Wisconsin (diving only) for the Tim Welsh Classic on Friday and Saturday. 

Freshman Carli Cronk continues to impress for Notre Dame, as she lowered her 400 IM time yet again this year, going 4:11.55 against Purdue and Kentucky two weeks ago. That mark ranks fourth in school history. She won that event along with the 200 free (1:46.51) at the meet. 

It is also Senior Day on Saturday, and the Irish will celebrate 13 seniors and graduates —
