Trips to the medal stand were constant on day three of the Big 12 Championship for ISU swimming and diving. The Cyclones made 14 trips to the medal stand as 14 events are complete in Austin, Texas.

Texas has pulled away as expected during the championship meet, but second place is where the competition is heated. Iowa State has 413.5 points, Kansas is close behind with 366 points, West Virginia has 315 points and TCU is at 294 points.

The highlight of the day for Iowa State was a school-record performance in the 200-yard freestyle relay from the team of Amanda Paulson, Savanna Townsend, Sarah Deis and Alex Flatness.

On the day, Iowa State achieved 13 personal records and posted 16 times within Iowa State’s all-time top-20 performers list.

Freshman Kasey Roberts and Mary Kate Luddy continued a successful Big 12 Championship in their respective events.

Ali Stearns joined Roberts on the podium Feb. 27 in the 100-yard breaststroke.

Backstrokers Bre Loeschke, Kaylee Kucera and Marissa Engel all made the A-final heat for 100 yards, the most from any team, and finished fifth, seventh and eighth in the event.

Elyse Brouillette carried on her history of diving success at the Big 12 Championship by qualifying for another finals, this time in 3-meter diving where she came in eighth.

Paulson captured another second-team All-Big 12 honor with a sixth-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly.

Karyl Clarete added to her Big 12 medal count, bringing in her sixth career Big 12 Championship medal after a sixth place finish in the 200-yard freestyle.
