CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- The UNI swimming and diving team returns home this weekend as they welcome Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) opponent Southern Illinois and the St.Thomas Tommies for a two-day triangular.
Competition is slated to start at 6 p.m. CT on Friday and continue at 10 a.m. CT on Saturday. Live results can be found on Meet Mobile (swimming) and Dive Meets (diving). This weekend's swimming action will be held at the neighboring Cedar Falls Community Natatorium, while the Glen F. Henry Pool inside UNI's Wellness-Recreation Center will host diving competition.
The Panthers return to Cedar Falls after opening the regular season last weekend with three road duals. Last Friday night, Northern Iowa rallied to top Marquette in a 103-102 win in Milwaukee, with Saturday seeing a 196-104 victory over Southern Indiana and 172-128 loss to UIC in Chicago.
Multiple Panthers would top the podium throughout the weekend, including the 200-yard medley relay team of Elyse Brayton, Neriah Giedrys, Nikki Walters and Charlotte Sander on Friday in 1:45.51. Morgan Raether would find success in both of the weekend's events, finishing with the top spot in both 100-yard backstroke competitions on days with times of 57.18 and 57.21.
Last weekend's action also saw two first-time winners as Neriah Giedrys and Olivia Gustafson would earn their first collegiate wins both in the dual with Marquette, with Giedrys's coming in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.69) and Gustafson in the 200-yard free (1:54.98). Sam Oeltjen would also top the 500-yard freestyle field in the dual against Marquette, clocking in at 5:13.44.
In the diving well in Chicago, the one-meter competition would see reigning MVC Diver of the Year Avery Hogan take the top spot with a score of 258.60, with Trista Thompson following in third (247.13) and Camryn Russell in sixth (227.10) in her collegiate debut. Three-meter action would see Thompson finish in third place (231.83), followed by Russell in eighth (209.40).
