EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State swimming and diving competed in Iowa City, Iowa over the course of a two-day series. The Spartan men fell to the Hawkeyes, 180-112. The women fell to Iowa, 183-113, and defeated Northern Iowa, 180-102.
The Spartans came out with four first-place finishes overall.
"It's really early in the season, but I thought we did pretty well. I take my hat off to Michael Schwers, Jon Lee and Erin Szara, they all won some events which was nice," said head coach Matt Gianiodis. "The men had a pretty good meet here. I thought Aidan Farley had a great meet and I thought we competed well against Iowa, they've got a pretty good team."
The men claimed three first-place finishes in their dual meet against the Hawkeyes.
Â
Coming up with the first top-spot finish was junior Aidan Farley in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:39.00. He was followed by sophomore Jonathan Lee, with a time of 2:04.30, in the 200 breaststroke. Lastly, in the 100 butterfly was Michael Schwers, clocking a time of 48.97.Â
The women took home one first-place finish and six second-place finishes in their tri-meet against Iowa and Northern Iowa.
Â
"On the diving side, Erin Neely and Amanda Ling both made their zone cuts which was pretty exciting. I thought Sophia Balow and Emma Inch did really well. We were a little off, but we will take the win against Northern Iowa," said Gianiodis.
Â
Erin Szara captured the sole win for the Spartans in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:03.56. Freshman Emma Inch had two second-place finishes in the 1000 freestyle and the 200 fly, with respective times of 10:14.75 and 2:06.33.
Â
In diving action, juniors Amanda Ling and Erin Neely both qualified for NCAA diving regionals in the 1-meter with scores of 290.45 and 267.05, respectively. Â
The Spartans are back in action on Oct. 12 in Cincinnati, Ohio as they take on the Bearcats of Cincinnati at 12 p.m.
