BELGRADE, Serbia – Lady Vol rising senior Michele King grabbed a gold medal in the 400m free relay finals on Sunday during the swimming competition at the 2009 World University Games.
The foursome of King, Madison Kennedy, Ava Ohlgren and Morgan Scroggy won in 3 minutes, 41.81 seconds. Japan was second in 3:42.60 and Canada third in 3:43.09.
King earned a spot on the U.S. team by tying Kennedy in the 50m free (25.22) at the 2008 U.S. Open Championships nearly a year ago in Minneapolis, Minn.
King swims again Friday when she competes in heats for the 50m free.
Rising junior Martina Moravcikova makes her 2009 World University Games debut Monday as she competes in the 100m breaststroke.
