AMES, Iowa – University of Iowa swimming and diving defeated Iowa State in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series dual on Friday evening, 168-115.
“Very proud of our team tonight for earning a hard fought victory in the Cy-Hawk series,” Iowa head coach Nathan Mundt said. “We have some excellent performances highlighted by our three pool records here at Beyer Hall. I thought that Iowa State really improved from last week, and they were really tough here at home. We had to rise to the occasion and make sure that we got the job done, but kudos to them. It is always a very highly contested meet, but we are really happy to come out with a victory and look forward to the rest of the season.”
The Hawkeyes won 13 individual events and two relays, highlighted by the sixth-best 100 breaststroke (1:01.53) in program history by freshman Olivia Swalley. Swalley also won the 200 breast (2:15.05) and 200 IM (2:01.17). Fifth year Kennedy Gilbertson (50 free), sophomore Sabina Kupcova (100 free), freshman Jenna Kerr (200 free, 500 free), sophomore Scarlet Martin (100 fly, 200 fly), freshman Annie Galvin (100 back, 200 back), junior Makayla Hughbanks (1-meter dive, 3-meter dive) rounded out individual wins. The Hawkeyes also won both relays with Gilbertson, Kupcova, Kerr and Martin setting a pool record in the 400 free relay (3:22.56).
Two additional Beyer Hall Pool records were set by the Hawkeyes. Martin set a record in the 100 fly with a time of 53.79. Swalley followed with a 200 IM pool record (2:01.17).
