SAN ANTONIO – The Incarnate Word swimming and diving teams picked up multiple\u00a0wins to open their own Christmas Invitational on Friday night at The Aquatic Center at Palo Alto College.<\/p>\n

Incarnate Word Press Release<\/h2>\n

The University of the Incarnate Word swimming and diving teams opened their annual UIW Christmas Invitational with a number of strong performances on Friday at the Palo Alto College Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n

The UIW women are currently in third place with 346 points. They trail Rice (606.5) and North Texas (456) while University of Houston is in fourth with 310.5 points.<\/p>\n

“Our women really got things going tonight in the 500 freestyle,” said UIW head coach Phil Davis. “I am very happy to see Mikali Shedd (Universal City\/Judson HS) drop seven seconds from this morning’s prelims. Our heads were in a great place and it showed by our times.”<\/p>\n

Davis was particularly impressed with the team’s newest member Alona Kyselova (Kiev, Ukraine\/Tarasa Shevchenko) who finished second in the 200-yard individual medley and swam the third leg on the third place 400-yard medley relay team. “I felt like Alona had a great swim and with more practice she could break 2:00 in the 200 IM,” said Davis.<\/p>\n

Kyselova touched the wall in 2:01.60, just off the school record by a few tenths of a second and the #2 time in school history. She teamed with Abby Meyer (Austin\/Bowie HS), Celeste Morgen (San Antonio\/Johnson HS) and Lana Nguyen (Kiev, Ukraine\/NPD) in the 400 medley relay to clock a time of 3:47.72, the second best in school history. Nguyen also added a runner-up finish in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.15 after posting a faster time in the prelims. “Lana just continues to get the job done with every swim,” added Davis.<\/p>\n

“For the men, Connor Hennessy really put together a strong 500-yard freestyle,” said Davis. “He was a little off in our last meet coming off finals exams, but looked comfortable and put together a good race.”<\/p>\n

Hennessy (San Antonio\/Business Careers HS) won the 500 freestyle by nearly four seconds in 4:25.44 over teammate David Moore (San Antonio\/Marshall HS) who posted a strong finish of 4:29.28. The 1-2 finish helped put the Cardinals ahead of Missouri S&T in the men’s meet.<\/p>\n

Alex Brouwer (Scottsdale, AZ\/Notre Dame Prep) won the 50-yard freestyle in 20.60 and swam and swam on a pair of winning relay teams. He joined with Mehdi El Hazzaz (Casablanca, Morocco\/Al Jabr), Scott Jonsson (New Braunfels\/Canyon HS) and Kaulen Applin (Houston\/MacArthur HS) to win the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:22.11. He came back in the final event of the night to anchor the winning 400-yard medley relay team of Jorge Escarcega (El Paso\/Cathedral HS), Oleksii Chokh (Kovel, Ukraine\/PRC) and Moore in 3:21.61.<\/p>\n

“Alex took care of business in the 50 freestyle and was a leader in both relays,” said Davis.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals won both diving events that were contested. Kali Lents (San Antonio\/Reagan HS) won the women’s 1-meter springboard with 274.45 points while Brendan Schaffer (Charlotte, NC\/Mecklenburg HS) won the men’s 3-meter springboard with 278.00 points.<\/p>\n
