AUSTIN, Texas -- Highlighted by senior Elizabeth Tinnon's NCAA automatic-qualifying swim in the 100-yard breaststroke, Texas collected six finals berths during the day two preliminary-round session of the Texas Invitational Friday morning at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.

After turning in a tremendous effort during the first day of the Texas Invitational, senior Connie Brown (Andover, Mass.) returned on day two to earn a finals berth in the 200 freestyle, clocking a NCAA "B" cut time of 1:48.75. Senior Katie Robinson (Dillsboro, Ind.) will join Brown in the final after touching the wall in a seventh-place time of 1:49.06. 

Sophomore Alison Soelter (Ulysses, Kan.) placed seventh in the 400 individual medley, clocking a NCAA "B" cut time of 4:20.47 to collect a spot in the finals.
