Three Seniors Combine for Four Wins
In Brief —Senior Zoe Spitz made it a very special Senior Day, breaking the school record in the 200 backstroke as Rice rolled to a 144-57 dual victory over Tulane on Friday at the Rice Competition Pool. The Owls saluted seniors Adalyn Armistead, Shannon Campbell, Chloe Corbitt, Maddy Howe, Kate Jablonski, Sini Koivu, Ahalya Lettenberger, Lauren McDougall, Virginie Qian, Sophie Reilly and Spitz.
Details—Spitz broke Ellery Parish's record of 1:56.61 set in 2019 by touching the wall in 1:55.77, the last of four winning efforts by seniors on their special day. McDougall won both the 100 and 200 freestyles and Koivu led the field in the 200 breast, leading an effort that saw the Owls win all 11 events. Sophomore Arielle Hayon won the 50 free and the 200 butterfly, Imogen Meers took the 200 IM, Amelia Kane finished first in the 500 free and freshman Ella Dyson outpaced the field in the 1,000 free.
Seth Huston—" My immediate impression is we had a lot of really good energy, had a lot of people swimming faster than they did a couple of weeks ago (at the Fall Splash). When I take a little more time to break today down, I'll be looking at how we executed our races, our turns, and a lot of the little details that we've been working on, but I am pretty happy with the day overall."
Up Next—Rice will be racing again in two weeks when they compete in the annual Phill Hansel Invitational at the University of Houston, November 17-19.
