Iowa Swimming and Diving Press Release<\/span><\/h3>\n

QUOTING HEAD COACH MARC LONG<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was great to see them race. We’re so new and young, to put them in this situation is outstanding. We’re learning a lot about them as competitors. The thing we wanted to focus on was competing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We’re putting them in situations that will challenge them. It’s exciting, there is such a great energy they have. People were swimming in off events, some were in a tough training situations and they stepped up and raced. That’s all we can ask for right now.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MEN’S HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sophomore Anze Fers Erzen<\/strong><\/a> highlighted the Hawkeyes’ victory over Michigan State, as he won three events, swimming to victories in the 100 back (50.36), 200 back (1:47.57), and 200 IM (1:51.61).

QUOTING SENIOR WILL SCOTT<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As a team we had some outstanding performances — Aleksey Tarasenko, Mateusz Arndt, Will Myhre’s 55 in the breaststroke. We’re looking good in practice, good in this first meet and the intrasquad last week. It’s going to shape up to be a good season if everything stays on track, which right now it looks like we’re starting to get that ball rolling.”<\/p>\n

WOMEN’S HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freshman Millie Sansome’s<\/strong> performance was a highlight for the women’s team in its two victories to open the regular season. The England native won four events, swimming to individual wins in the 1,000 free in 10:10.49 and 500 free (4:59.67). She was also part of the winning 200-medley relay (1:42.94) and 400-free relay (3:28.81).<\/p>\n

QUOTING FRESHMAN MILLIE SANSOME<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I was happy with my performance. It’s an adjustment swimming in meters from yards, so there are things I can work on, but I have set a good baseline. The atmosphere and team support was amazing. You were ready to get up and race, even if you were hurting, you felt when you got on the blocks that you were ready to give it everything.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
