Owls Down Houston to Close Dual Season
1/28/2023 3:25:00 PM | Swimming & Diving
First dual win over Cougars since 2017
FINAL RESULTS
In Brief: Arielle Hayon, Amelia Kane, Lauren McDougall, and Zoe Spitz each won twice as Rice captured 11 of 14 swimming events to down Houston 159-135 Rice to 11 wins in 14 races on Saturday at the CRWC Natatorium. The dual win was the Owls' first over the Cougars since 2017 and their first in Houston's home pool since 2014.
The Details: Hayon captured both butterfly events, Kane opened and closed the individual race schedule with wins in the 1,650 free and the 400 IM, McDougall won the 50 free and followed that by winning 100 free and Spitz rolled to wins in both backstroke events along with finishing third in the 100 fly. Freshman Ella Dyson chipped in to the victory total with a victory in the 500 free and the Owls added wins in both relays to their final score.
Seth Huston: "I was very pleased with our overall performance this weekend. Beating our cross-town rival is always satisfying. We had some real "Iron Athletes" today; Ahalya Lettenberger raced in the 1650 (best time) and 500 free, 400 IM, and Amelia Kane was a double winner in both the 1650 and the 400 IM with very impressive performances."
Up Next: The Owls will travel to Austin next Saturday to compete in The Sterkel Classic and then turn their attention to their first appearance at The American Athletic Conference Swimming Championships, which get underway in Dallas on February 15.
