TEMPE, Ariz. – No. 21 Sun Devil women's swimming and diving started off on a high note with a win in their first event and never looked back, gliding past Kansas, 209.5-88.5, on Saturday afternoon at the Mona Plumer Aquatic Center.
Over in the diving well, Hannah Sanders took second place in the women's three-meter springboard and fourth in the one-meter springboard in her second dual meet of the season.
The meet differed from traditional dual meets as the women swam long course meters, as is the standard on the international swimming level, opposed to the usual short course yards that the NCAA has accustomed to.
The foursome of Chloe Isleta, Silja Kansakoski, Lindsay Looney and Camryn Curry started off the meet on a high note to take first place in the 200 medley relay. The women came out on fire in the following event as well, with freshman Claire Nguyen, Emma Nordin, Savannah Mitchell and Caitlyn Wilson going 1-2-3-4 for the Sun Devils. After two events, ASU held a huge 29-7 lead over the Jayhawks.
Erica Laning and Kendall Dawson took their turn in the 200 free, with Laning taking first and Dawson taking second in the event. Isleta marked four-straight event wins for the Sun Devils as she took first in the 100 back, with freshman Jane Brown touching the wall soon after for second place.
2019 Pac-12 Champion Silja Kansakoski looked to continue her breaststroke dominance today and she did just that this afternoon by taking first in the 100 breast. Nora Deleske put up big points for the Sun Devils as well with her second-place finish in the event.
The underclassmen performed big in the 200 fly, with freshman and USA Swimming National Junior team member Lindsay Looney taking the top spot in the event by over five seconds. Sophomore Ruby Martin took second while another freshman in Jadé Foelske took third. Junior Caitlyn Wilson rounded out the Sun Devils in fourth for yet another 1-2-3-4 performance for ASU.
Camryn Curry followed her performance last week that saw her earn Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week honors with yet another 50 free win, with freshman Natalia Fryckowska and junior Erica Laning in third for Sun Devils in the top-three spots. Heading into the first break, ASU held a 107.5-41.5 lead.
Laning brought the heat to open competition after the break in the 100 free, taking first with Curry less than a second behind her in second place. The win was Laning's second of the afternoon and her third on the season.
Isleta took her second win of the day to extend ASU's win streak, with Deleske following with her first win of the season in the 200 breast. ASU against dominated, this time in the 400 free with another 1-2-3-4 finish by Dawson, Nordin, Nguyen and Wilson. Looney touched the wall for another first place finishing in the following event, this time in the 100 fly to sweep a win in both butterfly events this afternoon.
Deleske added her second win of the afternoon in the 200 IM, edging out teammate Chloe Isleta, who took second place, by almost two seconds.
In the last event of the day, the Sun Devils ended their statement team win with yet another event win to take home every single win event of the afternoon. The foursome of Erica laning, Camryn Curry, Emma Nordin and Kendall Dawson closed the book on the win with the top time in the 400 free relay.
