TicketsCOLUMBUS, Ohio– The University of Cincinnati swimming and diving team set nine new school records at the Ohio State Invitational this weekend inside McCorkle Aquatic Center.
Both the men's and women's teams finished sixth overall, as junior Joleigh Crye secured the Bearcats' lone event win in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 59.06.
Crye made waves in her individual events, breaking the school record in the 50-yard butterfly (24.33) and notching the second-fastest time in the 100-yard butterfly (52.98). She was part of the school-record 200-yard medley relay team, alongside freshman Ellie Schrank, sophomore Julie Rose, and graduate student Jessica Davis. The relay team finished with a time of 1:36.90.
On the men's side, graduate student Hunter Gubeno delivered a standout performance, setting three school records in the 50-yard backstroke, 100-yard backstroke, and 200-yard individual medley. Gubeno entered the 200-yard backstroke finals as the top seed but ultimately placed second overall.
Schrank made a name for herself in the UC record books after grabbing the 50-yard backstroke school record (24.81) and recording the third-fastest time in the 100-yard backstroke (53.72). She also appeared in three different relays this weekend.
