EDINBURG, Texas – The UNT swim and dive team scored a pair of victories over the weekend with two wins over UTRGV across two days.
The weekend featured a full slate of events spread over Friday and Saturday, but each day counted as its own meet, with the Mean Green notching a 173-44 win on Friday and a 191-46 win to close out the weekend on Saturday.
A program record fell on Saturday when sophomore Sydney Guidara scored a 258.98 in platform diving to break teammate Amelia Sharp’s record that was set earlier this season. In the other diving events, junior Kamryn Wong won both the 1- and 3-meter springboard events, with Guidara taking second in both events.
Some events in the pool were contested on each day, and several UNT student-athletes won multiple events over the weekend.
Indra Vandenbussche won one of the 50 freestyle finals, while Samantha Robles took the other one and added a win in the 100 freestyle. Vandenbussche also won the 200 IM. Mikaela Goelst won both the 50 and 100 breaststrokes, while Emily Ally won both the 50 and 100 backstrokes. Freshman Jette Schindler, who was competing in just her second event with the Mean Green, won both the 50 and 200 butterfly events.
“As a team, we had a good showing here in The Valley,” UNT head coach Brittany Roth said. “We had some really strong performances and team members who stepped up in events they don’t regularly compete in. Kennedy Eichler had an awesome mile, she was right on her time from midseason, which is exciting as we move into this next segment of preparation for the American Championships. Overall, seeing our athletes’ consistency and competing in line with times they’ve been able to perform throughout each phase of the season. I’m looking forward to building from here and getting the team ready for the championship.”
Associate head coach/diving coach Stephanie O’Callaghan said she was excited to see her group is at this point of the season after a couple of huge personal records and Guidara’s new program record.
“We had solid, consistent performances on springboard yesterday, including Kam with a double win and a phenomenal finish with tower today capped off with five personal bests, including a massive 38-point PR by Mackenzie (Ferguson) and Sydney with a 33-point PR and a new school record,” O’Callaghan said. “I’m looking forward to a weekend off to train and sharpen things up before our final dual meet of the regular season.”
The Mean Green will be back in action on Feb. 8, as they celebrate Senior Day against Little Rock, with swimming set for the Pohl Recreation Center and diving at the PEB Natatorium, beginning at 10 a.m.
