Brouillette Sets Iowa State U Dive Record, KU Jayhawks Defeat Cyclones

This morning, senior diver Elyse Brouillette finished off her regular season with a school record 322.20 points on the one-meter board to beat out the previous Iowa State record, a 314.4 held by Jessica Henderson.

Despite many strong performances by the Cyclone women, the University of Kansas dominated the swimming competition and came out on top, 172.5-127.5.

Day 1 results are here, and day 2 results are here.

Kansas won every swimming event but one on day one, including the first relay of the day, a 200 medley where Haley Bishop, Bryce Hinde, Yulduz Kuchkarova, and Pia Pavlic swam a 1:43.96 to win the race nearly two seconds ahead of the competition. The Jayhawks went on to win the 400 free relay on day two as well, when Bishop, Haley Molden, Breonna Barker, and Kuchkarova teamed up for 3:29.46 to finish three seconds ahead of the Iowa State squad.

One of Friday’s big individual victories for the Jayhawks came from sophomore Madison Straight, who posted a career-best 1:52.24 in the 200 free.

KU freshman Libby Walker doubled up on day one individual victories with 10:17.95 in the 1000 free (11 seconds ahead of second place) and 2:04.03 in the 200 fly.

Her teammate and fellow freshman Bishop also grabbed a pair of victories, one on day one and the other on day two. She won the 50 free in 23.22 and the 100 fly in 55.62.

Pavlic won the 100 back with 56.22, while Barker took the 100 free win with 51.95, and Chelsie Miller won the 500 free in 5:00.67.

Iowa State’s star diver Brouillette also won the three-meter dive with 324.00 points.

ISU’s Kasey Roberts swept the breaststroke events, one on each day. On day one, she took the 100 breast with 1:04.15, and on day two, her 2:18.89 in the 200 breast was nearly three seconds ahead of second place.

She also tagged on a win in the 200 IM with a 2:04.52, winning by three seconds over her nearest competitor.

Cyclone senior Marissa Engel posted a quick back half (splits: 1:00.88, 1:02.04) to win the 200 backstroke.

Both teams will jump back into action in three weeks with Big 12 Championships in Austin, Texas at the Jamail Swimming Center February 24th through the 27th.
