Kansas vs. Arkansas

The Jayhawks from Kansas University were defeated by the Razorbacks from The University by a score of 180-120.

KU did take a few wins, despite the large loss. Their first win came in the 200 medley relay with the quartet of freshman Manon Manning, sophomores Haley Downey, Hayley Bishop and freshman Lauryn Parrish posted a 1:43.36, about a half-second ahead of Arkansas’ ‘A’ squad.

Parrish took the 200 freestyle in a swift time of 1:50.89, which was enough to get by teammate, Jenny Nusbaum who put togehter a 1:51.98.

Backstroke-superstar Manning nabbed the 100 backstroke where she narrowly missed the pool record with her time of 54.78 while Bishop posted a 2:01.43 in the 200-yard butterfly, which was good enough for the win.

KU Head Coach Clark Campbell told KU Communications he is “really excited, however, because in a month, we won’t be as tired, and that comes right in time for the Big 12 Championships – we should be swimming pretty quick.”

Up next for the Jayhawks will be a two-day dual with conference rival Iowa State.

TCU vs. North Texas

The Texas Christian University women’s swimming and diving teams fell to North Texas by a score of 202-98.

Despite the wide margin of loss, the Horned Forgs were able to secure two victories. Those victories came in the 100 butterfly where Catherine Maxey took the win in a 57.43 and in the 100 freestyle where Claire Munster swam to the win in a 52.33.

Up next for TCU is a one-day dual with Texas next weekend.
