Gigi Hioki was a three-time winner for South Dakota State, but rival South Dakota won 10 of 16 events to pull away for a 174-126 dual victory over the Jackrabbits Saturday a the Stanley J. Marshall Center Pool.
In closing out their dual season, the Jackrabbits dropped to 2-7 overall and 1-3 against Summit League opponents.
The reigning Summit League Women's Peak Performer of the Week, Hioki swam to a trio of victories in the freestyle events. She opened the day with a victory in the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:52.75, followed by top times in the 100, 52.40 seconds, and 500, 5:15.24.
In addition, Hioki had a hand in the Jackrabbit victory in the 400 freestyle relay, swimming the anchor leg for a quartet that also included Jenna Currier, Aubrey Douds and Emma Schultz, and which finished in a time of 3:33.73.
Schultz was runner-up in both the 100 (:54.64) and 200 (1:56.63), while Currier placed second in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.14 seconds.
Also victorious in the pool for the Jackrabbits was Marissa Branham, who clocked a winning time of 2:28.60 in the 200 breaststroke.
Rounding out the individual event titles for SDSU was diver Anna Mei Castro. She claimed the 1-meter competition with a score of 224.40 points over six dives and added a third-place showing on the 3-meter board with 215.18 points.
