Gaining valuable momentum from the start, the women&#8217;s team would end up earning a first-place finish in nine of 16 events \u2013 swimming and diving \u2013 during the meet.<\/p>\n<p>Opening the meet, Kentucky&#8217;s 200-yard medley relay team won the first event by over a full second in 1:39.70.

The Louisville men won 165-135 and the Kentucky women won 160-139.5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, how often do we have a packed house?&#8221; said <strong>Arthur Albiero<\/strong>, UofL head coach. &#8220;That&#8217;s a celebration of college swimming. That&#8217;s the way I see it. I guess I&#8217;m getting old. Those are the things that catch my attention these days. I&#8217;m proud of the way we fought, both men and women really. The men took charge early and never really let up. This is a special group of guys and they&#8217;ve come together in many ways. They are a good blend of youth and experience. It makes things exciting for what&#8217;s to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louisville won 15 individual events and two of four relays and six NCAA B-cuts on the day. The Cardinals were led by multiple winners <strong>Evgenii Somov<\/strong> (200 MR, 100 breast, 200 breast), <strong>Nicolas Albiero<\/strong> (200 MR, 200 fly, 100 fly) and Daniel Sos (200 back, 200 IM) for the men. <strong>Arina Openysheva<\/strong> (100 free, 400 FR), <strong>Christiana Regenauer<\/strong> (100 fly, 400 FR), and <strong>Lainey Visscher<\/strong> (50 free, 400 FR).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard for me to overlook <strong>Nicolas Albiero<\/strong> today,&#8221; said the elder Albiero. &#8220;The way he swam today with a 44 flat in the 200 fly. Very, very competitive. The way he executed really stood out to me more than the time. There are a few things that we are working on. He really put that together. To be able to come back and just have a great meet today. It&#8217;s hard to not overlook that. There are plenty of guys who did a great job today. <strong>Daniel Sos<\/strong>, <strong>Evgenii Somov<\/strong> in the backstroke. <strong>Mitchell Whyte<\/strong>. A lot of people had to step up. <strong>Ilia Sibirtsev<\/strong>, a freshman finally starting to figure things out. That&#8217;s fun, right, when you start to see that moment. The light bulb starts to come together for some of these guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the first event of the meet, the Cardinal women touched second and third in the 200 medley relay. <strong>Ashlyn Schoof<\/strong> (27.13), <strong>Mariia Astashkina<\/strong> (27.25), <strong>Nastja Govejsek<\/strong> (24.06) and <strong>Casey Fanz<\/strong> (22.39) combined forces to post a time of 1:40.83.

Yes we are focused on today&#8217;s meet but there are other things coming. It&#8217;s all a part of the progression for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the 1000 freestyle, Kentucky took the top two spots led by <strong>Beth McNeese&#8217;s<\/strong> 9.53.94. <strong>Maria Sumida<\/strong> was the top Cardinal, touching third in 10:09.92, Sophie Cattermole was fourth in 10:11.68.
