After a loss yesterday to Ohio State, Kentucky got back on track against Cincinnati. The Wildcat men won 195-100 and the women defeated Cincinnati 210-84.

Kentucky took the top two spots in the women’s 200-yard medley relay. The Wildcat team of backstroker Danielle Galyer, breaststroker Kendra Crew, butterflier Bridgette Alexander and freestyler Geena Freriks took first with a time of 1:44.34.

Kentucky also picked up the win in the men’s race. Backstroker Walker Thaning, breaststroker George Greenhalgh, butterflier Kyle Higgins and freestyler Cobe Garcia teamed up to take the race with a time of 1:29.75.

Crew, Freriks and Rebecca Hamperian each scored 18 individual points for the Wildcats. Crew took first place in the 100 (1:04.47) and 200-yard breaststroke (2:17.81) and Freriks won both the 50 (23.96) and 100-yard freestyle (51.74). Hamperian won both the one and three-meter diving competitions.

Greenhalgh led the way for the Kentucky men. After helping Kentucky to a win in the 200-yard medley relay, the senior touched first in both the 100 (55.37) and 200-yard breaststroke (2:02.54).

The day ended with the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Kentucky posted the fastest time in the women’s race, touching the wall in 1:36.71. The Wildcat team consisted of Galyer, Freriks, Haley McInerny and Erin Hart. The Wildcats swam their relays as exhibition teams, so Cincinnati was technically given the victory in the race.

The same thing happened in the men’s relay. Kentucky touch first, though swam exhibition. The Wildcat team of Matt Roman, Scott Crosthwaite, Greenhalgh and Sean Gunn touched in 1:22.97.

Kentucky next competes at the Winter Invitational in Columbus, Ohio on Feb. 13.
