Huskers Remain Perfect on the Road

Cedar Falls, Iowa ? Freshman Hailey Dean and seniors Lauren Bailey and Kate Wheeler won two events each as the Nebraska swimming and diving team won the first nine events overall and cruised to an easy 121-81 win over Northern Iowa on Friday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

 

The win improved the Huskers to 5-5 on the season, including a 3-0 head-to-head dual record on the road, while the Panthers fell to 3-8. It was the first of two meets in two days for the Big Red as NU will now travel to Ames to take on IowaState on Saturday at 1 p.m.

 

Many Huskers competed in a wide array of events, but that didn’t slow Nebraska from a quick start after the 400 medley relay team of sophomore C.J. Bray, Dean, senior Bailey Ingles and sophomore Jenna Stroud won the first event of the meet in 4:03.95, nearly five seconds ahead of the competition. Dean then went on to win the 50 (25.18) and 100 freestyle (54.25) races to give her three total wins on the day.

 

Senior Kate Wheeler swam the 200 IM for the first time since last season’s dual against Northern Iowa on Oct. 22, 2005 and won the event in 2:13.50, while freshman Colleen Criss (2:16.18) and Michelle Criss (2:17.06) finished second and third. Wheeler dominated the 1,000 freestyle by 42 seconds (10:23.53) for her other win on the night.

 

Senior Lauren Bailey broke the one-minute mark to win 100 butterfly in 59.93 and also took first in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:54.75. Bailey had not competed in the 100 butterfly in a regular season meet since her sophomore season on Jan. 28, 2005 against Nebraska-Omaha/Northern Colorado.

 

Ingles and freshman Mariah Hutchinson had Nebraska’s remaining two wins as Ingles won the 100 backstroke (1:01.01), while Hutchinson took the 500 freestyle (5:08.29) ahead of Sarah Broker, another freshman, in second place (5:16.74).

 

Following Hutchinson’s win in the 500 freestyle the Huskers had clinched the victory and Nebraska swam the final two events (100 breaststroke and 400 freestyle relay) exhibition.

 

The Huskers will attempt to make their mini-road swing a successful one on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Ames when they dual Iowa State at Beyer Hall Pool. It will be Senior Day for the Cyclones, who hold a 5-2 record in 2006-07. Nebraska and IowaState tied for fifth with 41 points each at the Big 12 Relays in Lincoln on Oct. 13, 2006.
