The LSU women followed up their electric Friday performance with three more dual meet wins on Saturday and a sweep of the swimming events in their meet with Rice, Tulane, and Houston.
They started the meet by taking the top two spots in the 200 medley relay with their team of Zoe Carlos-Broc (24.23), Martina Bukvic (27.49), Avery Littlefield (22.76), and Michaela De Villiers (21.74) taking the top spot in 1:36.22. They had the fastest splits on all four legs.
The same was true on the 400 freestyle relay where they touched 1st and 2nd. The ‘A’ relay of Michaela De Villiers, Zoe Carlos-Broc, Megan Barnes, and Sabrina Lyn won in 3:19.46, touching three seconds ahead of the ‘B’ relay’s time of 3:22.59. The touchpads malfunctioned for the ‘A’ relay, so we don’t have accurate split times.
The Tigers had a few swimmers win two events during the meet, starting with Nicole Santuliana who won the 1st and last events. She started the meet off with the top time in the 1000 freestyle, swimming 9:47.55 to touch four seconds ahead of Grace Palmer‘s 9:51.43 to finish 2nd for LSU. Rice’s Ava Portello finished 3rd in 9:53.83. Santuliana was about three seconds off the 9:44.67 she swam to win the event against Alabama on Friday.
She also won the last individual event, the 200 IM, in 2:00.92, coming in a second ahead of teammate Martina Bukvic‘s 2:01.79.
Bukvic won the 200 breast in 2:10.64, beating teammate Grace Palmer‘s 2:11.97 by a little more than a second.
Megan Barnes took the middle freestyle events, winning the 200 in 1:47.05 and the 500 in 4:47.55. These were off the 1:45.71 and 4:42.84 she swam the day before to win both. Rice’s Ava Portello was 2nd in both, touching in 1:48.40 in the 200, just minutes after finishing 3rd in the 1000, and 4:48.20 in the 500.
Sofia Sartori was the final dual-event winner of the meet, taking 1st in the 200 back (1:53.20) and the 100 fly (52.11).
Michaela De Villiers and Avery Littlefield split the sprint freestyle events with De Villiers winning the 50 in 22.40 and Littlefield winning the 100 in 48.67. Littlefield finished 2nd in the 50 just two hundredths back at 22.42 and Tulane’s Eliza Lennox was 3rd in 22.99.
De Villiers was 2nd in the 100 with her 49.44 and Houston’s Liya Goupil finished 3rd in 49.91.
Zoe Carlos-Broc (100 back- 52.88), Sabrina Lyn (100 breast- 1:00.23), and Giulia Zambelli (200 fly- 1:53.76) were the final event winners for LSU with all three coming in just ahead of a University of Houston Cougar with Elizabeth Jimenez (100 back- 54.27), Evelyn Entrekin (100 breast- 1:00.29), and Alondra Ortiz (200 fly- 1:59.97) taking the 2nd place spots.
Houston’s Michelle McLeod won both diving events, scoring 298.30 to win the 1-Meter and 315.95 to win the 3-Meter.
