Newly ranked Jayhawks lose meet to rival Tigers

The Kansas women’s swimming and diving squad, which cracked the Top 25 at No. 23 this past week, were outmatched by No. 21 Missouri in the Border Showdown dual meet on Saturday afternoon. Missouri swam to a 173.5-123.5 victory over Kansas.

Despite the loss, there were solid performances turned in by Jayhawk swimmers. Senior Danielle Herrmann came away with first-place finishes in her individual events. Senior Maria Mayrovich also had an individual first place with her win in the 50-yard freestyle.

Sophomore Iuliia Kuzhil, Herrmann, senior Ashley Leidigh, and junior Emily Lanteigne guided the 200-yard medley relay (1:43.94) to victory to start out the meet.

Along with Kuzhil’s performance in the relay, she also placed second in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke events on the day.

Herrmann teamed up with sophomore Joy Bunting in the 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard IM to collect some key points for the Jayhawks. Bunting finished in third in the 100-yard breaststroke and second in the 200-yard IM behind Herrmann.

Sophomore Erin Mertz placed the highest out of KU divers with third-place finishes in both 1- and 3-meter diving.

One other race that produced points for the Jayhawks was the 500-yard freestyle, where Lanteigne and freshman Shannon Garlie finished second and third.

Next up on the women’s swimming and diving schedule is a home dual meet against Drury on Friday, Nov. 7. Following the Drury meet, KU will swim against Evansville on Saturday, Nov. 8 at Robinson Natatorium.
