Women's swimming goes 1-1, men's 0-2 to Texas, Michigan

The IU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams competed against Texas and Michigan Friday and Saturday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.

The women’s team defeated the Wolverines 223-77 and fell to the Longhorns 172-128, while the men’s team dropped both matches, falling to No. 5 Texas 185-115, and to No. 2 Michigan 223-77.

First place finishers for the women’s team included junior Lindsay Vrooman (1,000 freestyle, 9:45.42 and 500 freestyle, 4:48.85), sophomore Cynthia Pammett (200 freestyle, 1:48.90) and freshman Brooklyn Snodgrass (100 backstroke, 54.14 and 200 backstroke, 1:56.05).

In both of Snodgrass’ backstroke events, the Hoosier freshman remained undefeated.

“We are strong in backstroke yet lack depth,” IU Coach Ray Looze said. “If the freshmen develop quickly, we will have the depth we need to be successful at the conference meet.”

Freshman Haley Lips posted a second-place finish in the 200 butterfly, touching the wall at 1:59.22. Junior Brenna MacLean followed in third with a time of 2:01.82.

Adding on to a victory in the 200 freestyle, Pammett took second place in the 200 backstroke (1:57.94) behind Snodgrass. Sophomore Allie Day took third (2:00.64), rounding out a Hoosier 1-2-3 sweep in the event.

Senior Ashley Specht placed second overall in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:01.84.

In the 100 freestyle, junior Stephanie Armstrong took third place, posting a time of 51:62, while junior Sara Delay placed third (23.70) in the 50 freestyle event. Vrooman touched the wall in 1:49.99 to place third in the 200 freestyle.

The team of Snodgrass, Specht, Lips and sophomore Justine Ress combined for a time of 1:42.72 in the 200 medley relay, placing second.

In the 200 breaststroke, freshman Madeline Maher placed second (2:15.79).

Finishing third in the 100 butterfly in 54.89, Lips earned her third top-three finish of the day in the 100 butterfly, finishing third in 54.89. Her fourth top-three finish of the day came when she placed second in the 400 individual medley (4:19.51).

Clocking in at 3:22.35, IU took third in the 400-freestyle relay with Pammett, Snodgrass, Armstrong and Vrooman.

For the women divers, senior Amy Cozad placed third on the 1-meter springboard with a score of 284.40 and also took third in the 3-meter event posting a score of 326.65.

The men’s team fell to both Texas and Michigan.

“Of course there is pressure to do well in the collegiate season, but in the grand scheme of things, rankings are just numbers,” sophomore Steve Schmuhl said. “We don’t want to get wrapped up in things that we have little control over.”

In the 1,000 freestyle, senior Ryan Downey was the top Hoosier finisher, touching the wall with a time of 9:31.75.

Junior Cody Miller was a second-place finisher in both the 100 breaststroke (55.26) and the 200 breaststroke (1:58.96).

A team of junior Eric Ress, Miller, Schmuhl and senior Daniel Knorr combined to finish third in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:29.71.

Placing second in the 100 backstroke, junior James Wells posted a time of 48.37, while Ress was fourth with a time of 48.60.

Senior Jim Barbiere was sixth in the 200 freestyle posting a time of 1:38.45, placed fifth in the 100 free with a time of 45.63 and finished fourth in the 500 freestyle in 4:26.54.

In the 200 backststroke, Ress and Schmuhl went 2-3 with Ress posting a time of 1:45.66 and Schmuhl touching the wall in 1:46.12.

Schmuhl raced to his third top-three finish of the night as he placed second in the 400 individual medley (3:54.50), while Ress was seventh (4:00.49).

For the IU men’s divers, senior Casey Johnson finished third on the 3-meter springboard (343.60), with junior Darian Schmidt fifth (313.85) and senior Mick Dell’Orco sixth (312.70). Schmidt placed fourth (318.45) on the 1-meter board followed by Dell’Orco in sixth (297.45) and Johnson seventh (289.05).

In the 400 freestyle relay, the team of Barbiere, Kanorr, Wells and Miller finished seventh posting a time of 3:04.64.

The Hoosiers will compete against Penn State and Virginia in a double dual meet at home on Nov. 16 and 17.
