Swimming and diving team loses to Florida, Arkansas

Monday, October 26, 2009

After two grueling duals, the Kansas swimming and diving team returned to campus with losses against both Florida and Arkansas.

Before the meet, coach Clark Campbell acknowledged the difficulty his team faced in competing against the two SEC schools.

“Even though we might lose, the dual season record has no bearing on postseason qualifying,” Campbell said.

Despite that fact, the team approached the meet exactly as it would any other meet and came away with a few notable successes. In the absence of Gemma Spofforth, Florida’s backstroke world record holder, junior Iuliia Kuzhil dominated the backstroke events. She finished first in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.10 and took first in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:01.37.

Senior diver Meghan Proehl also turned in some stellar performances as she won both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events.

In the last race of the day Kuzhil teamed up with seniors Erin Goetz and Emily Lanteigne and freshman Monica Johannessen to capture first place in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:35.26.

Aside from the aforementioned races the Jayhawks struggled to crack the top three in any other event en route to a 196-112 loss to the Razorbacks and a 205-103 loss to the Gators
