Springfield, Mo. - The University of Missouri men's and women's swimming and diving teams had an impressive showing against Drury University as the #22 Mizzou women were able to defeat the #3 (D-II) Drury women 150-90. The Missouri men fell to the #1 Drury men 137-106.
"The Drury men swam extremely well today and came to the meet ready for us but our lack of depth really hurt is today," said Brian Hoffer, Missouri swim coach.
The men were only able to win three events on the night, two of which came from the divers. Sophomore diver Evan Watters finished in first place on the 1-meter board with his score of 355.95 and fellow sophomore Aaron Wionzek finished second with his score of 280.28. Watters' score on the 1-meter board is a new Missouri school record and a new Drury pool record. Watters and Wionzek also finished first and second on the 3-meter board.
For the women, freshman Amy Charley set a personal best in the 200-yard backstroke as she finished first with her time of 2:05.28. Swimming in the 1,000-yard freestyle for the first time, Charley finished second.
