Springfield, Mo. --- Nebraska won its season-opening meet for the fourth straight year and the ninth time in the last 12 seasons as it defeated the Missouri State Bears, 156-87, in Springfield, Mo., on Friday evening. The win, which was also Nebraska’s fourth straight victory over Missouri State, was the earliest regular-season meet for Nebraska in school history.
"We swam extremely well under the circumstances," assistant coach Doug Humphrey said. "We had a long bus ride over and a short warm-up, but still had some amazing swims. Our seniors really stepped up and proved their leadership and showed that we were going to fight to the end and win the close races."
The Huskers dominated the meet, winning nine of the 13 events, including three victories from senior Lauren Bailey in the 200- (1:55.21) and 500-yard freestyle (4:58.85) and also the 200-yard individual medley (2:08.96). Bailey was followed by teammates in two races, as she just edged out sophomore Jenny Toler in the 200-free by eight-tenths of a second (1:55.97), while freshman Kaitlin Arntz was runner-up in the 500-free in 5:11.78.
Senior Kate Wheeler, who had nine wins in 2005-06, won the 100- (53.24) and 1,000-yard freestyle (10.18.72), where she led a trio of Huskers. Senior Casey Schnack was second (10:33.35) and freshman Mariah Hutchinson was third (10:35.71) to give NU 16 points in the 1,000-free alone. Five events later, Hutchinson won the 100-yard butterfly in 58.40 to capture her first-career victory in her first collegiate meet.
Nebraska may not have had a stronger showing in the meet than on the diving boards, where the Huskers swept the top three spots on both the one- and three-meter boards. Senior Danielle Stansbury was the winner on the three meter with a score of 249.08, while junior Kaci Ressler won her first career meet on the one meter with a score of 234.53.
Nebraska’s final win came in the 200-yard freestyle relay in a time of 1:39.62.
The Huskers now gear up for a busy week as they host Texas on Thursday, Oct. 12 (6 p.m.), the Big 12 Relays on Friday, Oct. 13 (8:30 a.m.) and Texas A&M on Saturday, Oct. 14 (9 a.m.). All meets will take place at the Devaney Center Natatorium.
