Day Two Results
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The crowd at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion was electric Saturday afternoon as the Ohio State swimming and diving teams opened the season with victories over Virginia Tech. The No. 5 women dominated the No. 17 Hokies, 226-135, and the No. 14 men upset the No. 11 Hokies, 193.5-178.5.
Jessica Eden recorded the first NCAA B standard time of the day for the Buckeyes, swimming a 4:17.28 in the 400 IM to win the event. She touched the wall six seconds ahead of teammate Lucy Malys, who placed second with a time of 4:23.42. It was Eden's second individual win of the weekend; she also placed first in the 200 fly (2:01.18) on Friday.
Tristan Jankovics had another strong day for the Buckeyes, picking up his third win of the weekend. He went 3:50.66 in the 400 IM, which is an NCAA B standard time. Jankovics had a four-second lead on the second-place finisher (Nico Garcia, 3:54.98). He also recorded a B standard time in the 200 IM (1:46.11) on Friday night.
Josephine Panitz increased her win count on the weekend to three with a victory in the 200 breast, finishing in 2:14.09. Panitz had a four-second lead on Reese Dehen, who placed second with a time of 2:19.93.
Janie Boyle, a transfer from the University of Texas, earned her first win as a Buckeye on the platform. She recorded an overall score of 282.00, which is an NCAA Zones qualifying score. Ciara McGing (281.60) and Lena Hentschel (259.25) placed second and third, respectively, and their scores are also NCAA Zones qualifying scores.
Lyle Yost continued to impress, winning the platform dive with a score of 400.10. He finished almost 50 points ahead of teammate Kylie Flory (351.55), who placed second. Both Yost and Flory's scores are NCAA Zones qualifying scores. Clayton Chaplin (338.55) placed third and his score is also an NCAA Zones qualifier.
Going into the final event of the day, the 400 free relay, the men's team had a 10-point lead over the Hokies. The energy was palpable as the Buckeyes' lead-off swimmer, Daniel Baltes, got on the blocks. Although the Hokies led most of the way, anchor Gaziev went into high gear, overtaking Virginia Tech and securing Ohio State's win in the event with a time of 2:54.96. Tomas Navikonis and Jean-Pierre Khouzam were also on the relay team.
Teresa Ivan recorded an NCAA B standard time in the 50 free, touching the wall at 22.67.
The Buckeyes once again opened the day with a relay win. The team of Nyah Funderburke, Hannah Bach, Katherine Zenick and Amy Fulmer were victorious in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:39.03.
Gaziev earned his first win of the season, placing first in the 200 free with a time of 1:36.08.
Also earning her first win of the season was Morgan Kraus, who swam the 100 fly in 54.03.
