USC’s Minna Abraham Withdraws from Big Ten Championships Citing ‘Personal Reasons’
USC’s Minna Abraham will not be competing at the Big Ten Championships alongside her Trojan teammates.
The school announced the withdrawal on social media, with a message from Abraham citing “personal reasons.”
The post: “Due to personal reasons, I will not be traveling with our team to the Big Ten Championships. I look forward to cheering on my teammates from LA while I continue my training. See you all soon!”
Abraham has the second-fastest 200-yard freestyle time in the NCAA this season, clocking a 1:40.47.
Last year, she was runner-up in the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle events at the Big Ten Championships, and was a part of four relays, helping the Trojans finish fifth.
This year, however, USC looked to be in better position to challenge for the title, but this will be a significant hit on that chance as the Trojans will be dealing with Michigan, Indiana and Ohio State at the top of the conference.
