LAWRENCE, Kan. – TCU's women's swimming and diving team opened conference competition with a loss against Kansas on Saturday, 92.5-206.5. Despite the loss, TCU had a strong performance on the diving boards with a pair of wins and three NCAA Zone Cuts.
ON THE BOARDS
Isabella Ashdown continued her success in her debut season for TCU. The sophomore from Sydney, Australia, swept both one and three-meter dives and earned a pair of NCAA zone cuts with scores of 275.85 and 281.85. Connie Deighton finished second in both diving events, finishing with a one-meter score of 271.05 and a three-meter score of 265.58. Deighton's one-meter score earned her a NCAA Zone cut as well. Grace Newell rounded out the one-meter dive sweep with a third-place score of 234.45. Ashdown and Deighton are the first Horned Frogs since the 2014-2015 season to earn NCAA Zone cuts.
"Very proud of where the girls are right now," TCU diving coach Anthony Crowder said. "I'm looking forward to getting back to work as we continue to focus on the details to prepare us for the end of the season."
IN THE WATER
Claire Munster was the top performer for TCU in the swimming events, earning a pair of second-place finishes in the 50 and 100 free with times of 24.53 and 52.70 respectively. Kiki Rice also earned a second-place finish in the 200 IM, finishing in 2:09.33. Emily Visagie finished third in both the 100 and 200 breast with times of 1:05.71 and 2:21.97.
