Alessia Ferraguti Leads Arkansas to Conference Win over Vanderbilt

Alessia Ferraguti won each time she got behind the blocks on Saturday as Arkansas claimed an SEC Dual meet over Vanderbilt, 151-103.

The Razorbacks won every event in the meet, which did not include diving. Ferraguti had a hand in four of those victories.

The Italian grad student went 1:01.71 to win the 100 breaststroke. She clocked in at 2:14.90 to win the 200 breast. She teamed Gracie Colvin, Maddy Hartley and Bella Cothern to win the 400 medley relay in 3:37.26. She split 24.04 off the front of the 200 freestyle relay, with the Razorbacks posting the fastest time via the quartet of Ferraguti, Delaney Harrison, Colvin and Cothern.

Ferraguti was one of four double individual winners. Sydney Craft won the 1,000 free and 500 free, both times in entertaining races with Vanderbilt’s Mercedes Traba. Traba was within three seconds in the 1,000 free and just .24 seconds back of Craft’s victorious 5:02.36 in the shorter race.

Betsy Wizard swept the butterfly events. Adela Vavrinova paired a victory in the 100 backstroke with the 200 individual medley crown. Hartley led a top-three sweep in the 200 free with her victorious time of 1:52.24. Cothern’s 23.47 was the top time in the 50 free. Harrison won the 100 free.

In addition to Traba’s pair of runner-up results, Kalia Utley (200 fly, 100 fly) and Faith Knelson (100 breast, 200 breast) added a pair of top-three finishes each.
