Louisville won that race, so any finish lower than second would have given the Cardinals the meet win. U-M also took third in the 200-yard medley relay (1:39.93).<\/p>\n<p>An unusual format, the SMU Classic features eight swimmers and a diver from each competing school. Swimmers may swim 3 events per day, one of which must be a relay.<\/p>\n<p>Six different Michigan women won individual events.<\/p>\n<p>Freshman <strong>Kristen Hayden<\/strong> finished first on the 3-meter springboard (316.00) to earn High-Point Diver of the Meet honors.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0 pool, sophomore<strong> Yirong Bi<\/strong> and freshman<strong> Vanessa Krause<\/strong> each won events by slim margins: Bi in the 500-yard freestyle (4:37.62), two tenths-of-a-second ahead of Louisville&#8217;s<strong> Mallory Comerford<\/strong>; Krause in the 200-yard butterfly (1:56.46), one tenth-of-a-second in front of USC&#8217;s <strong>Maddie Wright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Three other student-athletes won races in &#8216;B&#8217; finals: sophomore <strong>Becca Postoll<\/strong> in the 500-yard freestyle (4:41.90), sophomore <strong>Siobh\u00e1n<\/strong> <strong>Haughey<\/strong> in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:10.05) and junior <strong>Gabby DeLoof<\/strong> in the 200-yard backstroke (1:56.27).<\/p>\n<p>Junior <strong>Clara Smiddy<\/strong> finished second in the 200-yard backstroke (1:54.33) and fourth in the 200-yard IM (1:59.58). Other &#8216;A&#8217;-final swims came from Haughey in the 100-yard freestyle (third, 49.03) and junior <strong>Emily Kopas<\/strong> in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:11.04).<\/p>\n<p>SMU junior <strong>Matea Samardzic<\/strong><dfn> <\/dfn>led the SMU women&#8217;s swimming and diving team winning the Swimming High Point award. The 2016 Olympian scored the most points as an individual swimmer, combining placements from individual and relay events.<\/p>\n<p>Samardzic posted the fastest time in the country in the 200-yard backstroke, clocking a 1:53.69 for the win and meet record. She also posted a provisional time in the 200-yard individual medley, finishing second in a time of 1:59.43.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville came out and won the first relay of the night with a record-setting 200 medley relay. <strong>Alina Kendzior<\/strong> (24.99), <strong>Andrea Cottrell<\/strong> (26.98), <strong>Grace Oglesby<\/strong> (23.94) and <strong>Casey Fanz<\/strong> (22.18) combined for a time of 1:38.09 and the win.<\/p>\n<p>Comerford touched second in the 500-free with a school record of 4:37.64 in a wild finish, just .02 behind Bi. Comerford won the 100-free in 47.89.<\/p>\n<p>Cottrell took first in the 200-breast with a 2:08.74.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville won the 200-freestyle relay with Comerford (22.32), <strong>Abigail Houck<\/strong> (22.77), Oglesby (22.76) and Fanz 22.20 combined for 1:30.05 and a new meet record.<\/p>\n<p>USC&#8217;s <strong>Louise Hansson<\/strong>, a Swedish Olympian, took first in the 200 IM in 1:55.95, a meet record and 0.60 off of an NCAA A cut. She won the race by 3.48 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>UCLA&#8217;s <strong>Linnea Mack<\/strong> took second in the 100 freestyle (48.63).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dan D&#8217;Addona.
