AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team trails Kansas, 90.5-59.5, at the halfway point in the teams' split dual meet.
The Big 12 foes competed in the first eight events of the meet Friday night at Beyer Pool and are splitting the meet across two days to simulate the quick day-to-day turnaround of the Big 12 Championships later this month.
Kansas jumped out to an early lead by taking first place in the 200 medley relay to open the meet, but Iowa State's top-two squads claimed the next two places to hang in close.
The 1000 freestyle was a tight race in the 2-3-4 spots throughout, with no swimmer gaining more than a body length throughout. Mollie McNeel and Haley Ruegemer would take third and fourth, respectfully, while the second and fourth places were ultimately separated by 0.8 seconds.
Kasey Roberts and Danica Delaquis continued to provide the Cyclones with a strong 1-2 punch in the breaststroke, both finishing top-three in the 100 yard edition of the event. Roberts touched in 1:04.15 to take the crown, while Delaquis finished in 1:05.31 for the bronze.
The Cyclones picked up their first sweep of the night by taking the top-three spots in three-meter diving. Senior Elyse Brouillette made the most of her final showing in the event at Beyer Pool, scoring 324.00 points to finish within 5.5 points of her personal record.
Julie Dickinson took second on the three-meter board with a score of 291.08, followed by a season-best 253.50 points from Becky Stochl to round out the sweep.
Iowa State ended the night by finishing 3-4-5 in the 50 freestyle, led by Maddie Rastall's time of 24.36 seconds.
The Cyclones and Jayhawks are back in action at 10 a.m. on Feb. 6 to compete in the final eight events of the split dual meet. The half-meet will also serve as Senior Day for the Cyclones, who will honor six seniors for their contributions to the program starting at 9:50 a.m.
