Nationally ranked Missouri took a swimming dual from Drury on Friday, winning the men's meet 143-97 and taking the women's competition 185-56 on the Panthers' Senior Night at the Breech Pool.
Less than 24 hours after sweeping D-I rival Missouri State in the same water, the Panthers were no match for the Tigers, who will take on MSU's Bears on Saturday.
Drury's top performances came in victories by sophomore
Alex Reinbrecht in the 1000,
Daniel Rzadkowski in the 200 Free,
Wen Xu and
Rodrigo Caceres in sweeping the 50 Free,
Stanislav Kuzmin in the 100 Fly, Xu and Rzadkowski again in a Panthers' 100 Free sweep and the 200 Free Relay, where Rzadkowski,
Walter Ross,
Aaron Buckingham and Caceres picked up the victory.
Xu's times of 22.91 in the 50 Free and 49.88 in the 100 Free established pool records, as did Rzadkowski's efforts in the 100 Free (43.99) and 200 Free (1:37.62).
Coach
Brian Reynolds and his staff honored seniors Kuzmin, Buckingham and Ross for the DU men and Janice Poon,
Gretchen Stein,
Sarah Pullen,
Tessa Tilton and
Rebekah Laupp for the women's squad.
The DU teams are idle until competing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships February 10-13 in Crawfordsville, Ind. The Panthers are the two-time defending champions on both sides in the conference meet.
