Results

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team (5-5, 0-2 Big 12) fell to Kansas (7-1, 1-0 Big 12) 204-111. Nine Iowa State seniors were honored prior to day two action.

Day two began with a second-place finish by Anna Andersen. Andersen clocked in at 52.56 in the 100 free to miss top placement by .81 seconds.

The next two events were marked with fourth, fifth and sixth placements. In the 200 back, Elizabeth Richardson clocked in at 2:04.96, Emily Haan at 2:07.91 and Anna Ellis at 2:12.04. Martha Haas became the top Cyclone 200 breaststroker with her time of 2:22.45. Bryn Ericksen (2:24.95) and Jennifer Roessler (2:28.10) clocked in behind Haas.

Two Kansas swimmers out-touched Nolwenn Nunes in the 500 free. Jenny Nusbaum (4:57.69) and Claire Campbell (5:02.46) timed in just before Nunes' time of 5:03.50.

Lucia Rizzo grabbed a runner-up finish in the 100 fly, touching the wall at 57.42. Trinity Gilbert claimed third place with 58.04 and Wyli Erlechman took fourth with 58.39 to score for Iowa State.

Three Cyclone divers secured three Zone cuts on the three-meter. Jayna Misra nearly closed in on her personal record by scoring a 295.80 and taking second. Dana Liva claimed third with her score of 294.30. Michelle Schlossmacher Smith also scored over 290 with her fourth-place score of 291.90.

The Cyclones touched second in the final event, the 400 free relay. Andersen, Sophia Goushchina, Emma Ruehle and Haas timed in at 3:30.62 to close out the dual.

"We're still learning about little things," said head coach Duane Sorenson. "Kansas is a really good team and have a lot of depth. We saw that at the Kansas Classic and they just kept rolling. This is typical for us this time of the year. We're solid but not great, but when we get to the conference meet we really come and put it all together."

ON DECK- Big 12 Championships

Following the meet, Iowa State will prepare for the Big 12 Championships in Morgantown, West Virginia. Competition will begin Feb. 26 and run through Feb. 29.
