Mizzou swept Drury in a short-format dual meet that was Drury’s last of the season, and kicked off Mizzou’s 1st of 3 days of competition. Mizzou will be racing in the Tiger Invite on Friday and Saturday, January 26th and 27th.
Mizzou’s Giovanny Lima posted his fastest time of the season in the 500 free in a dual meet. Lima went 4:25.52, which was the fastest time in the field, but he swam exhibition so the event winner was Federico Brumana (4:42.04).

His season and lifetime best in the 200 free is 1:34.88, which Lima posted at the Mizzou Invite in November.
Carter Grimes went a lifetime best to win the 200 IM, posting a 1:51.84. Grimes’ previous season best was 1:54.04, and his lifetime best was 1:52.00 from 2016. Grimes held off teammates Anthony Ashley and Alex Walton, who went 1:51.94 and 1:52.22, and both of whom outsplit Grimes on the last 50.
Hannah Stevens swam 100 back, 200 medley relay, and 200 free relay, of which the 200 medley relay won, and the 100 back and 200 free relay were the fastest in the field but were swum exhibition. In the 100 back, Stevens edged out teammate Haley Hynes, 55.70 to 55.84. Stevens used a faster back half to win the race, splitting 28.40 to Hynes’ 28.90. Stevens anchored both relays, spliting 23.62 and 23.52 on the medley and free relays respectively.
Kylie Dahlgren swam the 100 breast for the first time this season, winning the event in a 1:03.36. That was a lifetime best by 4 seconds, and ranks 4th on Mizzou’s team this year. Her time was only 1.34 seconds slower than the top time on the team this year – Emily Snyder’s 1:02.02 from the Mizzou Invite.
Andrea Bazzoli won the men’s 100 breast with a 56.17, touching just behind Jordan O’Brien, who went 55.94, but swam exhibition. Bazzoli held the lead at the 50, but was run down by O’Brien on the back half.

“Our kids did a nice job of stepping up and competing. We really had a lot of best dual meet times or right at their best dual meet times of the season. This really sets us up for the next couple of days as we get suited up (for the Tiger Invite). I’m really happy with how everyone supported each other, it was a great senior day.”
