ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State’s Chloe Farro (Swimmer) and Maria Saldana Riebeling (Freshman) claimed Missouri Valley Conference weekly honors as announced by the conference office on Wednesday morning.
Farro was a part of three pool records set by the Indiana State swimming and diving team at the Illinois State Dual Meet as the senior anchored the 200 Medley Relay and 400 Freestyle Relay, as well as topped the record in the 100-yard Freestyle.
Farro went undefeated on the day setting a new pool mark in the 100 Free in 50.88 to surpass the previous record set back in 2004. Her time of 23.63 in the 50-yard Freestyle win was .02 off the facility record set back in 1997. She swam the anchor legs in both the 200 Medley Relay (1:44.61) and the 400 Freestyle Relay (3:27.80), which also set new pool records in Normal, Ill.
Riebeling made her Sycamore debut in the Illinois State Dual Meet and capped off her first collegiate meet with a pair of second-place finishes in the 1000-yard and 500-yard Freestyle events.
