Elisabeth Timmer continued her winning ways, claiming two event titles to lead the South Dakota State women's swimming and diving team in dual competition against Iowa State Friday night at the Marshall Center Pool. Iowa State came away with a 158-78 victory after winning 11 of 13 events.
The reigning Summit League Women's Swimmer of the Week, Timmer remained undefeated in the 50-yard freestyle this season, clocking a winning time of 24.04 seconds. She later made it a sweep of the sprints by earning a victory in the 100 freestyle by nearly two full seconds in a time of 52.21 seconds.
The Jackrabbit duo of Kelsey Kocon and Emma Walz finished second and third, respectively, in a closely contested 100-yard backstroke race. Sophia Goushchina of Iowa State won the race in 58.04 seconds, followed by Kocon (:58.36) and Walz (:58.46).
Timmer and Kocon made up half of South Dakota State's runner-up 400 freestyle relay in the final event of the night, teaming with Emma Bachelder and Makenzie Herzog for a time of 3:34.72. Bachelder also placed third in the 100 freestyle individually in 54.68 seconds for an SDSU squad that fell to 1-2 in duals on the season.
In diving competition, Abbi Rouse placed second in 1-meter diving with a score of 242.55 points. Aleni Stoakes placed third both in 1-meter diving and on the 3-meter board with respective scores of 235.57 and 247.43.
