The men&#8217;s foursome of senior <strong>Caleb Hicks<\/strong> (Colorado Springs, Colo.), sophomore <strong>Danny Kovac<\/strong> (Fort Collins, Colo.), junior <strong>Grant Reed<\/strong> (Austin, Texas) and sophomore <strong>Kyle Leach<\/strong> (Colorado Springs, Colo.) also placed first in 1:19.51.<\/p>\n<p>Kovac earned Mizzou&#8217;s first individual win of the day, as he touched first in the 200 IM with a season-best 1:45.28, which bettered his previous best and kept him ranked third in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The 100 breast also featured a Tiger sweep, with victories from freshman <strong>Molly Winer<\/strong> (Ames, Iowa) and senior <strong>Nick Staver<\/strong> (Bettendorf, Iowa). Winer claimed her third win in the event of the year with a 1:01.65, and Staver won his third-consecutive title in the 100 breast with a swim of 54.58.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors <a href=\"https:\/\/mutigers.com\/sports\/mens-swimming-and-diving\/roster\/nick-alexander\/7510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Nick Alexander<\/strong><\/a> (St. Louis, Mo.) and <strong>Micah Slaton<\/strong> (Austin, Texas) also took home individual wins in day one competition. Alexander recorded his team-best sixth win of the year in the 200 back in 1:43.28, which was only three-hundredths of a second off his nation-leading time in the event. Slaton was victorious in the 200 fly after touching the wall in 1:45.15.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri swimming and diving concluded Thursday action with wins in the women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s 400 medley relays. On the women&#8217;s side, Thompson, Winer and freshmen <strong>Meredith Rees<\/strong> (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and <strong>Amy Feddersen<\/strong> (Ames, Iowa) clocked a time of 3:36.93. In the men&#8217;s race, senior <strong>Daniel Hein<\/strong> (Sycamore, Ill.), Staver, Kovac and senior <strong>Giovanny Lima<\/strong> (Sao Paulo, Brazil) posted the nation&#8217;s top time to easily take the win in 3:10.96.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NC State Press Release<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>NC State swimming and diving picked up four event wins between its men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s squads as it completed the first day of competition at the quad meet hosted by Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>After the opening day of action, the seventh-ranked Wolfpack women own a 99-68 edge over the No. 14 Wildcats and a 132-33 lead over Arkansas. The Pack narrowly trails ninth-ranked Missouri 85.5-81.5 with one day of competition remaining.<\/p>\n<p>NC State&#8217;s men lead No. 17 Kentucky 89-78, with Missouri holding a 118-49 advantage over the Wolfpack.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen of NC State&#8217;s swims and dives were good for podium finishes on the night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY ONE HIGHLIGHTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Emma Muzzy<\/strong> highlighted the outing with a 1:54.00 200-yard backstroke win. The victory was her second on the season in the event as she dropped a time that currently ranks fourth in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolfpack women once again came out swinging in the individual medley. NC State completed a 1-2 punch in the 200-yard individual medley as <strong>Julia Poole<\/strong> (1:58.55) and <strong>Kylee Alons<\/strong> (1:58.58) both posted times that rank in the top 10 nationally.<\/p>\n<p>NC State&#8217;s men dominated the 500-yard freestyle. All four of the Pack&#8217;s swimmers placed in the top five. <strong>Ross Dant<\/strong> led the way in 4:23.25, and <strong>Curtis Wiltsey<\/strong> touched soon after him in 4:23.69 for second place. <strong>Eric Knowles<\/strong> (4:24.04) and <strong>Danny Erlenmeyer<\/strong> (4:28.78) took third and fourth, respectively, to round out yet another strong performance by the Wolfpack&#8217;s distance crew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kate Moore<\/strong> added another event win to her junior year resume. The captain continued to show off her versatility, taking first in the 500-yard freestyle in 4:47.91.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfpack sophomore <strong>Taylor Bennett<\/strong> picked up a second-place finish, as the female divers were in action on the one-meter board Thursday evening. Bennett&#8217;s score of 265.30 exceeded the NCAA Zones standard and qualified her for postseason competition.<\/p>\n<p>NC State took second in both of the women&#8217;s relays contested on the night. Alons, <strong>Sirena Rowe<\/strong>, <strong>Heather Maccausland<\/strong> and <strong>Vasiliki Baka<\/strong> took second in the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:29.81. Muzzy, Maccausland, Alons and Poole then capped off the evening with second place in the 400-yard medley relay (3:37.91).<\/p>\n<p>The Pack men added third place on their side of the medley relay as <strong>Noah Hensley<\/strong>, <strong>Kimani Gregory<\/strong>, <strong>Luke Sobolewski<\/strong> and <strong>Hunter Tapp<\/strong> finished in 3:15.00.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacob Johnson<\/strong> (200-yard backstroke), Hensley (100-yard freestyle) and <strong>Noah Henderson<\/strong> (200-yard butterfly) all secured top-three finishes on the men&#8217;s side, while Alons (100-yard freestyle) added another podium finish to accompany her 200-yard individual medley result.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kentucky Press Release<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sophomore <strong>Kyndal Knight<\/strong> continued her winning ways on Thursday afternoon, defeating the 14-person 1-meter field with a score of 284.30 points. She has now won six of her seven springboard events this season and three of her four 1-meter performances. Knight is expected to compete in the 3-meter event on Friday morning, which she is undefeated in this season.<\/p>\n<p>For the No. 17 Kentucky men, sophomore <strong>Danny Zhang<\/strong> dominated the eight-person 3-meter field, earning first place with 405.65 points and 67.3 points more than the second-place showing. It marked Zhang&#8217;s first six-dive set of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Opening the meet with the 200-yard freestyle relay, the Kentucky men recorded the fourth-fastest time in the nation in 1:19.91. Earning second place behind Missouri&#8217;s 1:19.51, senior <strong>Peter Wetzlar<\/strong> led off the foursome with a 20.09 lead split, the fastest lead split in the field. Junior <strong>Lukas Kraft<\/strong> followed in 20.40, then senior <strong>John Mitchell<\/strong> in 19.84 and anchored by senior <strong>Jason Head<\/strong> in 19.58.<\/p>\n<p>Wetzlar continues to impress the coaching staff, and there was no exception to that on Thursday. The senior from Zimbabwe swept the 100-yard freestyle field on a season-best 43.83. It ranks as the seventh-best time in the nation, replacing his former time of 43.86.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Peter was awesome,&#8221; said head coach Lars Jorgensen. &#8220;Some of his swims today were really good against two elite programs. He continues to improve and get better, and what a great season he has had.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought the guys competed well. They have a close meet with NC State, and we&#8217;ll try to give it a run tomorrow. Danny on the diving board was really good. On the women&#8217;s side, I thought Izzy Gati&#8217;s 200 butterfly was awesome. She found her way to a win, which was really cool. Kyndal Knight continues to be a leader for our team, and we are looking for some big things out of her tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sophomore Gati took gold in the 200-yard butterfly on a season-best 1:58.89, shedding over four tenths of a second off her previously recorded time in October.<\/p>\n<p>In the 200-yard individual medley, senior <strong>Asia Seidt<\/strong> finished in third place in 1:59.97, her season best. Senior <strong>Glen Brown<\/strong> also finished in third place in the event on a 1:47.87 season-best time, shedding nearly two full seconds off his last time out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Missouri swimming and diving teams won nine events and recorded two nation-leading relay times during the first day of a two-day quad dual against No. 3\/7 North Carolina State,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":147120,"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":[49364,73852,72755,70388,67694,46364],"class_list":["post-401294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-college","tag-acc-swimming","tag-arkansas-swimming-and-diving","tag-kentucky-swimming-and-diving","tag-missouri-swimming-and-diving","tag-nc-state-swimming-and-diving","tag-sec-swimming"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Missouri Swimming and Diving Leads Quad Meet With NC State, Kentucky, Arkansas;
