SWIMMING & DIVING: Iowa State falls to Missouri
January 25, 2010
Iowa State’s swimming and diving squad had a rough time at Beyer Pool when No. 21 Missouri showed up Saturday.
The Cyclones were able to take home a victory in just one of the first 13 events.
One of the few brights spots in the pool for the Cyclones was provided by the 200–meter medley relay team of junior Jeli Nixt and seniors Nan Liu, Abby Glaser and Lindsey Behrens.
The women also scored a victory from sophomore Taylor Vieau in the 200–meter individual medley.
Another strong showing was put on by All-American senior diver Tien Tran, who placed second in the one–meter dive event.
The second-place finish for Tran was the first time since October that she hadn’t taken home a victory from the diving board.
The meet final score came to 190–105, dropping the Cyclones’ overall record to 7–2 on the season. Next up for the Cyclones is the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Friday and at Big 12 rival Nebraska on Saturday.
