Gophers Drop Road Dual at FSU
10/18/2019 9:51:00 PM | Men's Swimming & Diving, Women's Swimming & Diving
MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota swimming and diving teams dropped their first road duals of the season Friday evening against the Florida State (FSU) Seminoles. The Gophers took several notable steps forward from their season opener, but were unable to come through against a powerful FSU team.
Women | Gophers 111.5 – Seminoles 186.5
Sophomore Abbey Kilgallon delivered an early first place finish for the Gophers, winning the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:04.51. The U performed strongly in the long distance event, as junior Abbey Erwin touched the wall shortly thereafter, posting a third place time of 10:13.03.
In the women's 100 back, the Maroon and Gold came up big with a one-two finish. All-American Tevyn Waddell touched the wall first, swimming the event in 55.10. Junior Emily Cook came in second with a time of 55.85.
Cook also sped her way to a first place finish for the U later in the evening, winning the 200 back with a time of 2:02.31. The Gophers posted four of the top five times in the event, with Jordan McGinty, Patricia Van Law and Lillianna Brooks following Cooks' lead.
Following up her quality performance in last week's meet, senior Lindsey Kozelsky held steady against FSU by swimming an NCAA B-cut time in the 100 breast (1:00.66). It was ultimately a two-three finish for the Gophers, with freshman Grace Bennin touching third with a 1:04.42 time.
Later in the evening, Kozelsky broke through and won the 200 breast, completing the event in 2:13.79.
In the 500 free, Kilgallon claimed her second top finish of the dual, touching the wall in 4:55.57. Kate Sullivan finished second, as her 4:57.25 time made it a one-two finish for the Gophers.
In the diving well, sophomore Jae Sarkis and freshman Jaclynn Fowler paced the Gophers in both events. Sarkis placed third in the one-meter, with Fowler close behind, finishing in fourth. Both divers totaled NCAA Diving Zone qualifying scores in the three-meter: Fowler with a third place score of 283.50 and Sarkis with a fourth place score of 282.30.
Men | Gophers 103 – Seminoles 197
It was a solid night for Minnesota on the long distance front, as junior Cameron Kelley won the 1000 free for the men as well, touching in 9:18.12. Aidan Dillon finished third in the event for the U.
On the heels of last week's breakout meet, junior Tim Sates kept some momentum going by finishing second in the 200 free with a time of 1:38.95. It was one of two top-three finishes on the night for Sates, who finished third in the 100 free as well (45.48)
Junior Eitan Yudashkin also recorded a second place finish, swimming the 100 breast in 56.42. Evan Yoder touched the wall in 57.75, making it a two-three finish for the Maroon and Gold.
In the 200 breast, the aforementioned duo made their presence known yet again. Yudashkin and Yoder improved to score a one-two finish with respective times of 2:03.60 and 2:05.29.
Minnesota's team of Matthew Thomas, Tuomas Pokkinen, Yudashkin and Sates closed out the night with a win in the 200 free relay. Thomas also won the 100 fly with a time of 48.96.
Junior Maxim Royzen had the top score in both diving events for the Gopher men. In the one-meter, his third place score of 311.47 was also an NCAA Diving Zone qualifying total. Sophomores Aiden Werner and Ryan Phillip finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
In the three-meter, Royzen again placed third with a 313.95 score, while Werner finished fourth.
Notable
Kilgallon was the sole Gopher to haul in multiple first place finishes in the dual (500 free, 1000 free).
Quotable
"The final scores certainly aren't what we are looking for, but the effort and attitude our team displayed today is exactly what we are looking for," said head coach Kelly Kremer. "Lots of positives today. We will keep working and learning."
Up Next:
Minnesota will hit the road again next weekend, as they travel to Iowa for a dual with the Hawkeyes. The meet will take place on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 11:00 a.m.
