Emily Lundgren School Record Helps Washington State to 5-0 Start
Emily Lundgren set a school record in the 100 butterfly Friday night as Washington State beat Seattle to improve to 5-0 on the second.
The Cougars won 11 of 12 swimming events for a 164-60 victory. They are out to a 5-0 start for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
Lundgren was the highlight of a meet in Pullman that included 50-yard strokes. The junior went 52.73 to blitz both the program and the Gibb pool record. She’s the fastest butterflier in Washington State history since the super-suited time of 53.40 by Michaela Ahlin set in 2009. (It had been the third-oldest record on the books, with only Erin McCleave’s distance records from 2007 standing longer.)
Lundgren also took down the pool record of 53.93 set in 2023 by Dori Hathazi, who finished second in Friday’s meet.
Lundgren also won the 100 breaststroke in 1:02.09. She added the 200 individual medley title in 2:04.06. She was part of the 400 medley relay win, along with Hathazi, that opened the meet for the Cougars.
Leading off that relay was Anna Rauchholz, who went 26.18 to win the 50 backstroke and 56.36 to claim the 100 back. Darcy Revitt went 23.31 to edge Emma Wright in the 50 free. Third was Addy Lewis, who went on to win the 50 fly. Sam Krew won the 100 free. Tatum Janning claimed the 500 free.
Seattle picked up on win on the day, with Sara Cook going 30.34 to win the 50 breaststroke. She also finished third in the 200 IM.
