Iowa State Picks Up Conference Win Over TCU
01.15.2022 | Swimming and Diving
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team (6-1, 1-0 Big 12) picked up a conference win over TCU (2-3, 0-1 Big 12) by a score of 173-161. The Cyclones fought back to edge TCU with six event wins and four Zone-qualifying performances Saturday morning.
The Cyclones picked up the first victory on the day, as the 400 medley relay squad of Emily Haan, Martha Haas, Lucia Rizzo and Brinley Horras led through the entirety of the race. Timing in at 3:49.59, Iowa State came back within six points after ending the first day 15 points behind TCU.
Iowa State continued battling back and took the top two spots in the 200 back. Elizabeth Richardson stopped the clock at 2:04.06 and Haan next at 2:04.43.
The breaststrokers officially brought the lead back in favor of the Cyclones as they swept the 200 breast. Martha Haas grabbed her second breaststroke victory of the dual with a time of 2:20.01. Lehr Thorson (2:21.65) and Alaina Breitbach (2:23.35) touched next to tally 16 Cyclone points. Iowa State kept control of the lead following the event.
Brinley Horras notched the 500 free win with a time of 5:02.92. Horras now sits 14 points away from recording her name on the sophomore all-time point scorers list.
Rizzo continued her dominance in the 100 fly as the senior won in 56.84. The win stretched the Cyclone lead to double digits for the first time of the dual.
In the next swimming event, Rizzo tallied another victory while etching her name at No. 17 on the senior all-time point scorers list with 160 points this season. Rizzo's win of 2:05.96 in the 200 IM extended Iowa State's lead to 17 points over TCU, the largest lead of the dual.
Michelle Schlossmacher Smith dove to two Zone-qualifying scores on the day. On the one-meter, Schlossmacher Smith placed third with 282.30. In platform exhibition, the senior finished with a personal best of 249.25.
Joscelyn Buss and Lauren Kimball joined in cementing Zone cuts. Buss notched hers on the platform as she dove to 227.35. The score is the sophomore's first Zone cut on platform as she now has a qualifying score in all three events. Kimball dove to hers on the one-meter with a score of 281.95 to place her fourth.
The Cyclones solidified their first conference win by taking second in the 200 free relay. The team of Andie Quirke, Haas, Sophia Goushchina and Maddie Ziegert timed in at 1:35.79.
"Very proud of our women and how they fought back after being down 15 points after yesterday," Head Coach Duane Sorenson said. "Every race was contested and we got our hand on the wall before TCU. TCU swimmers did outstanding but our kids were just a little bit tougher. Great win by Lucia winning the 100 fly and 10 minutes later winning the 200 IM. Very proud of her and also Trinity Gilbert for getting third in both of those races. Going one-two in the backstroke and one-two-three in the breaststroke was fantastic."
