Huskers Face Missouri on Senior Day
The Nebraska swimming and diving team will honor five players on Senior Day against Missouri on Saturday, Feb. 7, at 1 p.m. Seniors C.J. Bray, Courtney Jolly, Jenna Stroud, Jenny Toler and Christina Yemm will be recognized before the meet for their efforts and success over the past several years, and all five will be swimming in their last meet at the Devaney Natatorium.
The team will be holding a special community fundraiser during the meet. A silent auction will be held and various items will be sold throughout the meet, including a signed swim cap by head coach Pablo Morales, a signed football by coach Bo Pelini and Tom Osborne and other signed items.
The Huskers had a great weekend to end the month of January, winning two away duals in as many days, beating UNO 219-78 on Jan. 30 and then defeating conference foe IowaState 156-144 on Jan. 31. The Huskers evened up their dual record to 3-3 with the two victories, and will look to make it three straight dual wins this weekend against Missouri.
Nebraska will have nearly three weeks off after Saturday’s meet before travling to Columbia, Mo., for the Big 12 Championships on Feb. 25-28.
Scouting the Tigers
After starting the year off 1-5, Missouri has won its last three duals to improve its record to 4-5 heading into this weekend’s dual against the Huskers. The Tigers aslo took first at the Mizzou Invite, defeating five other teams in the process, including Nebraska opponents Iowa and Kansas. Missouri’s two most recent wins came over IowaState 178-117, and Iowa 188-111.
Review: Huskers Take 15 of 16 Events in Win over UNO
The Nebraska swimming and diving team earned its second dual win of the season on Jan. 30 with a 219-78 victory over Nebraska-Omaha at the HPER pool in Omaha. The Huskers won 15 out of 16 events en route to the victory.
The Huskers jumped out early and never looked back, winning the first 11 events of the afternoon. The meet featured some untraditional events, as the teams swam in 25- and 50-yard variations of the freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke. The Huskers won all eight of the sprints, including C.J. Bray winning both the 25- and 50-yard freestyle.
The Nebraska divers had an outstanding day as well. Senior Courtney Jolly set a new career best on the one meter board with a score of 296.40, earning first place in the event. Jolly also won the three meter with a score of 303.37. Sophomore Emily Burbach and freshman D’Arcy Schmidt each set new career bests in both the one and three meter dives as well, giving the NU diving trio a total of five career high scores on the day.
Four other Huskers notched their first wins of the season, as Riley Seidel won the 1,000-yard freestyle (10:58.11), Karen Criss won the 25-yard backstroke (13.93), Hailey Dean won the 25-yard breaststroke (15.29) and Kaitlin Arntz won the 50-yard breaststroke (31.35).
Review: Strong Finish Propels Huskers to Victory
The Nebraska swimming and diving team earned its second dual win in as many days as it defeated IowaState 156-144 in Ames. The Huskers improved to 3-3 in duals this season with the win.
The Cyclones got off to a fast start, winning five of the first seven events on the day to take an early lead into the first diving break. Courtney Jolly got the Huskers back on track with a win in the one meter dive, while D’Arcy Schmidt took third.
Nebraska continued to swim well after the diving break, taking three of the next four races after the intermission, including Mariah Hutchinson’s second win of the day in the 500-yard freestyle. Hutchinson had already won the 200 Free earlier in the day.
Despite swimming well after the diving break, the Huskers were still down 137-127 going into the final two events, the 200-yard IM and the 400-yard freestyle relay. Nebraska stepped up to the challenge, taking the top three spots (Christina Yemm, Hailey Dean, Brandie Kavalec) in the IM and the top spot in the 400 Free relay to secure the win.
Jess Andrews set a new career best time on the day with her 51.53 time in the 100 Free, while Hutchinson nearly broke her career-best time in the 200 Free with a time of 1:52.18, just three one-hundredths of a second behind her previous career best.
