ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Freshman Cody Vertin was a three-time winner for South Dakota State, but St. Cloud State used its depth in a few other events to clip the Jackrabbits, 155.5-142.5 in a men's swimming and diving dual Friday afternoon at the Halenbeck Hall Aquatic Center.
With the loss in its first meet of the new calendar year, SDSU dropped to 9-3 in head-to-head competition this season.
A Brookings native, Vertin swept the breaststroke events, clocking winning times of 57.52 seconds in the 100-yard race and 2 minutes, 5.36 seconds in the 200. He completed his trifecta with a top time of 1:54.97 in the 200 individual medley.
Two other Jackrabbits were two-time winners in the freestyle events. Junior Sam Johnson touched the wall first in both the 100 (:46.93) and 200 (1:44.99), with sophomore Jack Ellison claiming the two longest events of the night in the 500 (4:49.97) and 1,000 (9:55.61).
Austin Smith turned in a strong meet for SDSU with a victory in the 100 butterfly (:51.13) along with runner-up efforts in both the 200 freestyle (1:46.65) and 200 IM (1:57.07).
Closing out the list of event winners for the Jackrabbits was sophomore Braxton McGrath in the 200 butterfly (1:56.17). Teammate Bryan Wong was second in 1:56.47.
St. Cloud State's Raf Hendricks was a two-time winner in the pool as he earned victories in both the 100 (:49.89) and 200 (1:48.35) backstroke events. Jimmy Nord swept the diving events for the Huskies with respective scores of 288.65 and 304.10 on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards.
The Huskies also were victorious in both the 400 freestyle (3:06.48) and 200 medley (1:32.13) relays. In addition, Reid Tigges led an SCSU sweep of the top three spots in the 50 freestyle with a winning time of 21.27 seconds.

Both the Jackrabbit men's and women's squads are slated to square off against South Dakota in dual action Jan. 20. The meet is set for a 10 a.m. start at the DakotaDome in Vermillion.
