- ECU, SMU and Tulane concluded their 2019 regular-season swimming and diving campaigns over the weekend. The 2019 American Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships will be held from Feb. 27-March 2 at the IUPUI Natatorium.
Tulane outlasted SMU on the road to capture its second-straight win Friday night, defeating the Mustangs 154-146. The Green Wave won nine racing events, including the 200-yard medley (1:43.59) and 400-yard freestyle (3:27.61) relay. Sophomore Kate McDonald led the way for Tulane, winning three individual events, which included the 100-yard breaststroke (1:02.24), 200-yard breaststroke (2:14.53) and 200-yard IM races (2:03.53). She also swam the second leg of the Green Wave's 200-yard medley relay.
Junior Erin Trahan won all three of her individual events, and freshman Johanna Holloway swept diving action to lead SMU. The Mustangs finished the regular season 4-5 in dual action, while Tulane improves to the same record. Trahan picked up wins in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles, as well as the 100-yard butterfly. In diving action, Holloway posted NCAA Zone qualifying scores on both springboards. She registered a six-round 276.83 on 1 meter and a 290.55 on 3 meter. Both marks were career bests.
