Nov. 8, 1999
The University of Missouri men's and women's swimming and diving team had a long weekend of competition at the Illinois Dual Extravangza in Champaign, Ill. over the weekend (Nov. 5-7). For the women, The Tour de Champaign saw them defeat No. 24 Illinois 96-90, Southern Illinois 152-75 and North Texas 163-55. The lady Tigers also swam Penn State (65-82) and Kansas (75.5-93.5) falling to both.
Head coach Brian Hoffer was very pleased with his teams performances.
"The women had great races as well. Even though we lost to Penn State, a legitament top-three Big ten team, we showed we are ready to step up and race. We lost to Kansas, but it was the best we have matched up with them in my eight years at Missouri. It took the 1,650 for them to beat us which tells me we have come a long way as a team. The win over Illinois was fantastic."
On the women's side, senior Rikki Janes along with freshman Ellen Cross and Leslie Hoh made their presence felt. Over the weekend Janes claimed victories in the 50 back, 100 back and 200 back to remain undefeated in the backstroke events thus far into the season. Cross won the 50 free against both Illinois and Kansas while Hoh won the 200 individual medley against Illinois and the 200 breaststroke against Penn State.
There were several other female Tiger winners over the weekend. Against Illinois freshman Katy Chandler won the 200 free and sophomore Erin Wilke claimed the one-meter springboard title. In the dual against Kansas senior Whitney Nigh came up huge with a win in the 100 free while junior Jeanna Willi won the 50 fly. On Sunday's double dual against North Texas and Southern Illinois several MU's swimmers were victorious. Freshman Sarah Stowe won both the 1000 free and 200 back, sophomore Molly Vetter won the 200 free and 200 fly, Willi swam to victory in the 50 free, junior Kim Lambert won the 100 free while senior captain Tawney Larm claimed the 200 breaststroke title.
After four straight weekends of competition, Missouri will finally take a weekend off before traveling to Western Illinois on November 19. The Tigers will then close out first semester at the Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, Indiana, December 3-5.
