Quoting the Coaches
Swimming
"Our guys are known to be very, very passionate," said head coach Braden Holloway. "Whether it's a great thing for us or it hurts us, we wear our heart on our sleeve every single time we compete. When you have the national champions come to your house you want the best out of yourself and each other, so they know if they're going to inch closer to the big one in March they're going to have to go through teams like Texas. The passion took over today for those guys.
This was a special day for our seniors given it was their last home meet. Hennessey Stuart had a great day, Anton Ipsen had a huge day; it's the last time these guys are going to race in that pool. They wanted to leave it all out there as much as they could and obviously Ryan hasn't done the 50 or 100 free all year and we waited for this meet to give him some different events and to unleash him. Overall it was a really good team performance.
The goal of the schedule was to battle-test the women to the point where they don't care who they go against at any time, have any fear or any doubt. They've had the toughest stretch of anybody in college swimming with Stanford, Cal and Texas in a seven-day span. They don't back down and they step it up. There were definitely some good performances; the two local girls Julia Poole and Kathleen Moore are swimming like veterans. Ky-lee Perry has had a really good fall; she's made some adjustments and is experimenting with a few different races. She's getting confidence and has had a great stretch."
Diving
"The divers' dove pretty well," said diving coach Yahya Radman. "The men came to play; all of our guys hit their zone scores other than Holt Gray who missed by four points on one-meter and six points on three-meter. You're diving against a national institution in terms of diving, so when the pressure was on I thought our boys dove well.
On the women's side I thought Madeline dove well one the one-meter, holding her own against a Team USA member and a national champion so that will build some confidence going into the spring."
Wolfpack Relays
The team of Coleman Stewart, Jacob Molacek, Ryan Held and Justin Ress won the 200 medley relay in 1:25.94 seconds, an NCAA 'B' time. Elise Haan, Julia Poole, Krista Duffield and Ky-lee Perry finished second in the 400 medley relay thanks to their finish of 3:38.68 seconds.
In the 200 freestyle relay the Wolfpack took second; Ky-lee Perry, Krista Duffield, Vasiliki Baka and Lexie Lupton completed the event in a time of 1:30.89 seconds.
Top Individual Performances
Seniors Anton Ipsen and Ryan Held led from the front for the Wolfpack; Ipsen set a new pool record in the 1000 freestyle along with winning the event in a time of 9:04.93 seconds. He also took first in the 500 freestyle and earned an NCAA 'B' cut thanks to his finish of 4:18.48 seconds. Held competed in the 50 and 100 freestyle events for the first time this season and did not disappoint; he won both in NCAA 'B' qualifying standard times of 19.57 and 43.16.
Hennessey Stuart also ensured his final night competing inside the Casey Aquatic Center was a memorable one with his time of 1:44.08 seconds in the 200 backstroke earning him the win along with an NCAA 'B' cut.
Justin Ress won the 200 freestyle and earned an NCAA 'B' cut, finishing in 1:36.21 seconds.
