Coyotes split with Jacks in final duals in DakotaDome Pool

VERMILLION, S.D.  – South Dakota men's and women's swimming and diving team split its Summit League duals against rival South Dakota State on Saturday inside the DakotaDome Pool.
 
It was the end of an era for the Dome Pool, opening in November 1979 and hosting its final meet today as South Dakota State won the men's dual 175-119 and South Dakota took the women's 214-86.
 
Gabbie Ahrendt was a three-event individual winner while Emily Kahn and Taylor Buhr captured a pair of races as the women's team claimed 15 of the 16 events contested in the dual.
 
Kahn and Jacob Carlson set pool and school records and the men's 200 medley relay team (1:42.44) also set school and pool records that will be etched into the books forever.
 
Individual victories also came from Camilla Brogger-Andersen, Sara Mayer, Mairead Powers, Kayla Middaugh, Taylor Horan and Stella Fairbanks on the women's side and Joaquin Contreras-Fallico, Jacob Carlson and Charlie Matthews twice for the men.
 
The Coyotes swept the two relays contested in the meet, the 200 medley and 200 free.
 
Ahrendt, a freshman, won the 200 free (2:07.74), 100 fly (1:04.29) and the 200 IM (2:23.85).

Buhr, a sophomore, won both breaststroke races, winning the 100 in 1:14.41 and the 200 in 2:38.27.
 
Carlson, a senior, touched the wall first in the 100 fly in 55.98 seconds and also swam on both winning relays. He joined Adam Fisher, Jack Berdahl and Zachary Kopp on the school and pool record 200 medley relay and came back to close the meet by teaming with Kopp, Fisher and Aidan Gantenbein to win the 200 free relay.
 
Brogger-Andersen, a sophomore, opened the individual portion of the meet with a win in the 800 freestyle in 9:23.33.
