In their final meet in Beyer Hall, the five senior members of the swimming and diving team were left disappointed.

The Cyclones did see promise, however, from their juniors in their 189-110 loss to Nebraska.

“There’s mixed emotions,” said swimming coach Duane Sorenson. “We had some really outstanding swims. Maggie Peterson’s 100 and 200 backstroke, Kim Rogers’ 200 backstroke, 400 relay and 200 medley relay, where we just got touched out at the wall.”

Peterson, a junior, swam a lifetime-best 100 backstroke, placing first. She also had a season-best 200 backstroke, where she finished second.

Rogers’ time in the 200 was just off her lifetime best at 2:06.20. She took first in the event.

The 400 freestyle relay team of senior Brita Benson, senior Jenny Lindberg, Peterson and sophomore Lauren Breunig finished first, and clocked a season-best time.

The 200 medley relay team — Peterson, Benson, Breunig and freshman Krista Fehl — were out-touched at the wall, and just off a season-best time.

“You’re disappointed to lose,” Sorenson said.

“The signs are there that things are going in the right direction. We competed much, much better this weekend than we did last weekend.”

Diving coach Jeff Warrick said he was very pleased with his divers against Nebraska.

Junior Hillary Nichols grabbed nine points, and a first-place finish, with her 260.69 score on the 1-meter board.

Senior teammate Gail Olson took second with a 250.20. Senior Katie Herman finished fourth (237.07).

“They had a great performance on 1-meter,” Warrick said. “They did really well and that’s what we’ve been looking for — consistency.

“On 3-meter, I was happy with their performance but it was definitely not what I know they can do.”

The divers snagged the third, fourth and fifth positions in the 3-meter board, with Herman taking third (244.72), Olson finishing four-tenths of a point behind her with 244.35, and Nichols bringing up the rear (238.35).

“We’re looking really good going into the next meet and the championships,” Warrick said.
