The Tennessee swimming and diving teams started their two-day meet road trip with a dual meet against Southeastern Conference rival Missouri in Columbia, and came away with overall wins in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s dual meets.<\/p>\n
Tennessee\u2019s freestyle depth helped them win on both sides. The women won handily, 164-136, while the Volunteer men also came away with a dominating win, 176-124.<\/p>\n
Sean Lehane<\/strong> and Michael Chadwick<\/strong> were in the zone for the meet, as each posted times that ranked at or near the top of the college rankings. For Tennessee\u2019s Lehane, he can savor being the fastest man in the 200 back so far this season thanks to his 1:43.41. That bumps Auburn\u2019s Joe Patching\u2019s<\/strong> 1:43.66 off the top after just five days there. On paper, the men\u2019s 200 back was to be the highlight of the meet, as it featured Lehane and Missouri\u2019s Carter Griffin<\/strong>, the gold and silver medalists in the event at this summer\u2019s Pan American Games. Griffin was unable to challenge Lehane in today\u2019s dual meet, finishing a distant second with a 1:48.63.<\/p>\n Lehane was also well ahead of the field in the 100 back, winning comfortably with a 47.84 that ranks him just outside the top five nationally.<\/p>\n For Chadwick, a junior at Missouri, he inched closer to the top of the collegiate standings with wins in the sprint freestyles. His 20.09 moves him closer to breaking 20 seconds in-season, and put him fourth nationally. In the 100 free, he\u2019s now ranked second in the nation behind the 43.17 from Florida\u2019s Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sam McHugh<\/strong> was the top scorer for the meet, winning three individual events. The Tennessee sophomore posted a 1:38.76 in the 200 free, 1:47.78 in the 200 fly and 1:49.29 in the 200 IM to give the Volunteers 27 big points in the dual meet.<\/p>\n Tennessee\u2019s strengths in the distance freestyle were evident in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s meets, as the Volunteers took the top three spots in both genders for the 500 free and the men\u2019s 1000. In the men\u2019s 1000, David Heron<\/strong> led the way with a 9:26.31, giving the 9:30.05 from teammate Ben Miller<\/strong> second place and the 9:32.37 from Sam Rice<\/strong> third place.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s 500 free was led by Maddie Tegner<\/strong> and her 4:54.21. Teammates Mary Griffith<\/strong> (4:57.64) and Heather Lundstrom<\/strong> (4:58.62) were not far behind for second and third places. Heron couldn\u2019t complete the distance sweep on the men\u2019s side, finishing second in the 500 free with a 4:37.53 behind the 4:34.81 by Evan Pinion<\/strong>. Miller almost claimed second, but settled for third with a 4:37.67.<\/p>\n Tennessee also claimed 1-2-3 finishes in the women\u2019s 200 free, 50 free and 100 fly. Griffith claimed the 200 free win with a 1:50.16 as Harper Bruens<\/strong> (1:50.80) and Micah Bohon<\/strong> (1:51.08) were close behind. In the 50 free, Faith Johnson<\/strong> posted a 22.81 to lead the Volunteer sweep, with Bruens second in 22.96 and Alex Cleveland<\/strong> taking third with a 23.34.<\/p>\n Madeline Banic<\/strong>was out first at 50 yards in the 100 fly, and teammate Anna DeMonte<\/strong> was making a move in the final strokes. Banic held on to win with a 55.10 to DeMont\u2019s 55.12. Taking third for Tennessee was Bruens with a 55.32.<\/p>\n Almost immediately after the 100 fly, DeMonte was back for the 200 IM, which she won handily with a 2:03.13.<\/p>\n Johnson had no problem sweeping the sprint freestyles on the women\u2019s side, posting a 50.39 in the 100 free. Tegner was another double winner for Tennessee, taking the 1000 free in 10:03.07 to complement her 500 free victory. Kira Toussaint<\/strong> was Tennessee\u2019s other individual event winner, claiming the 100 back victory in 54.34 over the 54.93 from Missouri\u2019s Nadine Laemmler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Laemmler got her revenge in the 200 back, winning that event by almost three seconds over Toussaint with a 1:57.38.<\/p>\n Missouri\u2019s Abby Duncan<\/strong> was a double winner for the Tigers, taking the breaststroke events in times of 1:01.22 in the 100 and 2:13.07 in the 200. Duncan still holds the fastest time in the nation in the 100 breast, with her 1:00.56 from the Show-Me-Showdown.<\/p>\n Sharli Brody<\/strong> claimed the other win for the Missouri women, taking the 200 fly with a 1:59.05, overtaking Tennessee\u2019s Lundstrom in the final strokes. Lundstrom placed second with a 1:59.31.<\/p>\n Tennessee\u2019s Peter Stevens<\/strong> and Missouri\u2019s Fabian Schwingenschlogl<\/strong> are likely to vie for breaststroke wins at the SEC meet in February, and the two battled today in the 100 breast with strong swims. Stevens held off a late charge from Schwingenschlogl to win the 100 breast by seven hundredths of a second, 54.12 to 54.19. In the 200 breast, Schwingenschlogl got the upper hand over the field with a strong 1:59.34 that ranks fifth in the nation so far this season.<\/p>\n Andrew Sansoucie<\/strong> had the better second half of the men\u2019s 100 fly, and that helped the Missouri junior take the win with a 48.89 over the 48.96 from Tennessee\u2019s Ryan Coetzee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Though Tennessee could not be caught in the women\u2019s and men\u2019s 400 free relay, the two teams were separated by mere tenths in the opening 200 medley relay. In the women\u2019s race, Missouri led wire-to-wire, but a 22.25 on the freestyle leg from Johnson made the final 50 yards a nailbiter. Missouri won the race, 1:40.66 to 1:40.80.<\/p>\n In the men\u2019s medley relay, Tennessee held the lead through butterfly. But a 19.41 on the freestyle leg from Chadwick gave the Tigers a very close win, 1:28.23 to 1:28.24. <\/p>\n Full results available on Meet Mobile.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Tennessee swimming and diving teams started their two-day meet road trip with a dual meet against Southeastern Conference rival Missouri in Columbia, and came away with overall wins in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":129273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,6],"tags":[54957,31781,29030,34110,27751,43520,26095,28007,28005,34120,26901,25159,26885,29730,54960,33979,43516,33236,26096,1122,30838,44840,28010,28004,54961,25161,1348,177],"class_list":["post-157343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-college","tag-2015-missouri-vs_-tennessee-dual-meet","tag-abby-duncan","tag-alex-cleveland","tag-andrew-sansoucie","tag-anna-demonte","tag-ben-miller","tag-carter-griffin","tag-david-heron","tag-evan-pinion","tag-fabian-schwingenschlogl","tag-faith-johnson","tag-heather-lundstrom","tag-joe-patching","tag-kira-toussaint","tag-maddie-tegner","tag-madeline-banic","tag-mary-griffith","tag-micah-bohon","tag-michael-chadwick","tag-missouri","tag-nadine-laemmler","tag-peter-stevens","tag-ryan-coetzee","tag-sam-mchugh","tag-sam-rice","tag-sean-lehane","tag-southeastern-conference","tag-tennessee"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\r\n
