South Dakota State's Gigi Hioki continued her winning ways in the 200-yard freestyle, but Nebraska claimed titles in the other 12 events to defeat the Jackrabbit women's swimming and diving team in its home opener, 170-72, Friday afternoon at the Marshall Center Pool.
A sophomore from Liberty Lake, Washington, Hioki clocked a winning and season-best time of 1 minute, 52.55 seconds in the 200 freestyle, besting her next-closest competitor by nearly two seconds. It was Hioki's third win in the event in four races so far this season.
Hioki added a runner-up finish in the 100 freestyle, 52.92 seconds, while Emma Schultz touched the wall second in the 50 freestyle, 24.84 seconds. Schultz and Hioki also made up half of the Jackrabbits' 200 freestyle relay team that closed the meet with a second-place time of 1:37.42 after teaming with Jenna Currier and Lily Esmas.
Freshman Isabella Gnewuch posted a runner-up finish in the 100 butterfly, 1:00.01, and Esmas led SDSU in the 100 backstroke with a second-place time of 59.15 seconds. Freshman Kailee Crane took third for the Jackrabbits in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:00.23.
Gena Jorgenson was a three-time individual winner to lead Nebraska. The Aberdeen native opened the dual with a victory in the 1,000 freestyle, 10:05.65, followed by wins in the 200 individual medley (2:08.25) and 100 backstroke (58.85 seconds).
