IOWA CITY, Iowa – Two swims. Two school records. That's how the University of Evansville women's swimming and diving team opened up competition at the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Swimming & Diving Championships in Iowa City, Iowa on Wednesday night.
Evansville opened the competition with a school-record performance in the 200-yard Medley Relay, as the quartet of sophomore Iryna Tsesiul (Minsk, Belarus), junior Sage Moore (Lexington, Ohio/Lexington), freshman Sveva Brugnoli (Rome, Italy) and senior Jessie Steele (Houston, Texas/Klein) clocked in with a time of 1:42.62. It bettered UE's previous school record time by nearly a half second, and qualified the group for the National Invitational Championships in March by reaching the CSCAA "Automatic" time standard of 1:43.
