AUSTIN, Texas – The Kansas women’s swimming & diving team concluded day two of the Big 12 Swimming & Diving Championships, which saw junior Kate Steward swim a school record 1:58.00 in the 200-yard individual medley inside Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center on Thursday.
“She is getting it done at every level, in and out of the pool,” Head Coach Clark Campbell said of Steward. “Chelsie Miller was one of our best swimmers in Jayhawk history, for her to set a record held by Chelsie is a big deal.”
Steward’s time of 1:58.00 breaks the school record of 1:58.37 set previously by Chelsie Miller at the 2014-15 Big 12 Championships, while also earning the ‘B’ standard for the NCAA Championships.
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas women’s swimming and diving team topped Iowa State, 178-114, inside Robinson Natatorium in Lawrence, Kan., on Saturday, as the Jayhawks celebrated their six seniors on Senior Day.

Among the seniors recognized were Dannie Dilsaver, Caroline Schultz, Crissie Blomquist, Ellie Flanagan, Manon Manning, Lauryn Parrish and student managers Wynne Reddin and Ava Cormaney.
Following a successful start on Friday, the Jayhawks continued to pile up wins on Saturday, including victories in the 100-yard freestyle, 200-yard backstroke, 200-yard breaststroke, 500-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly, 200-yard individual medley and 400-yard freestyle relay.
