2/5/2022 6:40:00 PM | Swimming & Diving
Texas wins dual 154-103
FINAL RESULTS
In Brief: Marta Cano-Minarro won a pair of events and posted three season bests to highlight action for Rice at the Sterkel Classic at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center on Saturday. Second-ranked Texas won the dual meet, 154-103, which served as the final competition for both schools prior to conference championship meets in three weeks.
The Details: Cano-Minarro captured the 200 IM in 2:00.04, the top time this season by an Owl and added a win in the 100 butterfly in 53.59, out-touching Arielle Hayon at the wall. She finished second in the 200 fly in 1:58.73, the fastest effort by an Owl this year and .19 off her personal best set in 2020 at the Conference USA Championship. Freshman Amelia Kane provided at third win in an individual event for Rice, taking the 500 freestyle while Cano-Minarro joined Imogen Meers, Madison Howe and Becca Evans to capture the 200 freestyle relay to close out the day.
Seth Huston: For the second consecutive week, the Owls hit the water after a bus trip from Houston, and the Owls' head coach was impressed with the way the team responded: "What a difference a week makes. I was really impressed with the team energy today from start to finish. Marta had a great day today. Her first butterfly swims of the season were pretty awesome. I thought Arielle looked strong and is still figuring some details out. It was great to Lauren Brantley, Sophie Reilly and Elizabeth Myers create some momentum heading into CUSA."
Up Next: The Owls will turn their focus to two final weeks of training prior to the Conference USA Championship which begins Wednesday, February 23 at Liberty University's Natatorium in Lynchburg, Virginia.
