OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha swimming & diving team made more history Saturday at the Mutual of Omaha Invite, breaking two additional school records on the way to a weekend victory with 1,398 total team points.
The 200 medley relay team of senior Natalie Renshaw, juniors Meredith Ricks, Tiril Jensen and Morgan Stepp started the evening with a bang in the first event, knocking off a two-year-old school record (1:44.23) in the event with a new time of 1:43.86
Stepp continued her exceptional weekend in the pool, adding her name to the record books for the second consecutive night. The Parker, Colo., native sprinted to a winning time of 2:04.68 in the 200 IM and broke a record set in 2006 by Ashley Renshaw, the older sister of current Maverick Natalie Renshaw. Stepp also triumphed in the 200 breast, posting a season-low time of 2:19.62.
Jensen, from Lillesand, Norway, finished as runner-up in the 200 breast, clocking in a mark of 2:24.86.
Renshaw then used a strong performance in the 100 free to notch the third-fastest time in school history in the event at 50.90. Senior Hannah Johnson swam to a second-place finish in 53.25, just behind Renshaw.
Omaha returns to the pool Friday, Jan. 15 for the I-80 rivalry when in-state foe Nebraska comes to town. The meet is slated to begin at 6 p.m. from HPER Pool.
