The Iowa women’s swimming team had an enjoyable Thanksgiving break after taking first place in the Hawkeye Invitational on Nov. 22 in the Field House.

The Aquahawks defeated Truman State, Northern Iowa, and Western Illinois in dominating fashion, seizing first-place finishes in 14 of the 18 events.

Junior Katarina Tour took first in two events and set a pool record in the 100 butterfly with a time of 55.06. Tour also holds the school record in the event.

Senior Julie Feingold added two first-place finishes, and senior Christine Kuczek had a first- and a pair of second-place finishes.

Iowa also took first in four of the five relay events.

Some of the younger AquaHawks enjoyed success as well. Freshman Lauren Eytalis and Sarah Galvin each had a first- and second-place finish to their credit.

Iowa won’t return to the pool for a dual meet until Dec. 11, when the Aquahawks will face Iowa State in Ames.
