What's in a fingernail? DNA. Maybe some polish or a little bit of dirt. On Saturday afternoon at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, a fingernail was all that kept senior Vera Koprivova from becoming Rutgers' first honorable mention All-American swimmer since 2008.
Koprivova placed 17th in the 200-yard backstroke preliminaries at Texas' Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in 1:53.08. With the Top 16 moving onto to Saturday's finals and guaranteed All-America status, Koprivova was just 0.01 seconds behind the 16th place consolation finals qualifier.
