For the sixth year in a row, the Iowa women’s swimming and diving team has earned in-state bragging rights over Iowa State.

On Dec. 11, the Hawkeyes downed the Cyclones, 198-101, in Ames.

Head coach Marc Long’s squad broke several Beyer Hall pool records on the way to its fourth win of the season. Its record is now 4-2 (1-2 Big Ten).

Junior Emma Sougstad led the way for the Hawkeyes, grabbing wins in the 100 breast (1:00.50), 200 breast (2:12.95), and the 200 individual medley (2:01.39). All the times set pool records.

Olivia Kabacinski, a senior competing in her last Cy-Hawk showdown, also had a big night. She and Sougstad, along with freshman Kelly McNamara, and senior Allie Orvis, started the night off setting a pool record in the 200-medley relay (1:40.29).

Kabacinski also posted individual victories in the 100 free (50.01) and 200 free (1:48.92). Both of those were pool records.

Sophomore Tereysa Lehnertz broke the 200-fly pool record as well, touching in 1:59.22.

For the final pool record, the group of Meghan Lavelle, Carly O’ Brien, Jennifer Weigand, and Kabacinski shattered the 400 free relay mark, touching in 3:22.84.

Other Hawkeyes with individual victories included Lavelle (100 and 200 back), McNamara (100 fly) and freshman Abby Schneider (1,000 free).

Schneider’s time in the 1,000 free (10:03.34) was a season-best, and she also won the 500 freestyle in a season-best time of 4:53.32.

Sophomore Morgan Rafferty had a good day diving, winning the 1-meter springboard with a score of 292.2. She finished runner-up in the 3-meter and posted her best score of the season (309.00).

The Hawkeyes won 15 of 16 events. Iowa State’s lone win was in the 3-meter diving.
