Brother-sister duo helps Missouri swimming jump to lead at Mizzou Invite

Kylie Dahlgren didn’t watch her younger brother’s pre-race introduction. Instead, she worked on her backstroke. Moments later, when Jack dove in the water for the 500-yard freestyle, she swam butterfly.

It’s hard to pay attention to a race when you’re competing in the next event, but Kylie found a way to keep tabs on 500 from the warm-up pool. The Missouri senior would glance at the scoreboard when she took a moment to rest. She’d peek over the barrier separating the warm up and racing pools to catch a few of his strokes.

Kylie’s head was submerged when Jack finished the race, but she quickly learned that the freshman finished in second place with a personal best time of 4 minutes, 19.
