COMPLETE RESULTS

Elisabeth Timmer was a three-time winner and six other Jackrabbit swimmers claimed individual event titles as South Dakota State ended a long layoff with a 178.5-119.5 victory over St. Cloud State in women's dual action Friday at the Stanley J. Marshall Center Pool.

A senior from Savaneta, Aruba, Timmer notched all three of her victories in the freestyle events. She began her day by winning the 200-yard freestyle in 1 minute, 56.21 seconds, followed by a victory in the 50 freestyle in 24.43 seconds. Timmer's final individual title came in the 100 freestyle with a winning time of 53.04 seconds.

Also earning a victory in the freestyle events for the Jackrabbits was Zoey Ahrens, who claimed the 500 freestyle in 5:20.18.

The Jackrabbits were especially strong in the backstroke events as they posted a 1-2 finish in the 100-yard race and swept the top three spots in the 200. Kelsey Kocon swam her way to victory in the 100 with a time of 58.82 seconds, while Sianne Downes was right behind in 59.25 seconds.

In the 200, Downes came out on top in 2:07.68, with Emma Walz (2:09.19) taking second and Kocon (2:10.46) placing third.

Kocon and Emma Bachelder formed half of two winning relays for the Jackrabbits. The duo paired with Morgan Nelson and Sara Juez for a victory in the 200 medley relay, 1:49.50, and also teamed with Walz and Timmer to close out the meet with a winning time of 3:36.18 in the 400 freestyle relay.

Nelson and Juez each tallied individual wins of their own. Nelson claimed the 100 breaststroke in 1:09.06, edging teammate Marissa Branham by .04 seconds. Juez came out victorious in the 100 butterfly in 1:00.69 after posting a runner-up finish in the 200 butterfly, 2:19.53, earlier in the meet.

Branham tallied a victory of her own in the 200 breaststroke, touching the wall in 2:28.60.
