OMAHA - Omaha women's swimming swept Iowa Western and College of Saint Mary in a double dual meet, while the men defeated Iowa Western head-to-head at H&K Pool Friday.

The Omaha men earned a 147-114 victory, while the women posted a 236-43 win over the Reivers and the women dominated both Iowa Western, 201-49, and CSM, 199-53.

Among the top performances for the men, Garrison Wells (Kansas City, Mo.) delivered a season-best time of 51.97 in the 100-yard backstroke, Kyle Kulow (Sugar Land, Tx.) topped the field in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:42.30 and James Lemus captured the 100-yard freestyle in 46.38.

Top swims for the women included Danica Brunk (McPherson, Kan.), posting a time of 24.23 in the 50-yard freestyle, Mia Jacobs winning the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 24.23 and Lauren McDonagh pacing the 200-breaststroke field with a time of 2:26.50.

The diving teams did not compete Friday.

"Our team did a great job racing after a pretty intense week of training," head coach Jessica Hessel said. "It was great to see some strong swims from our mid-distance and distance crew, while also giving athletes the opportunity to compete in events they don't typically swim."

The Mavericks compete against South Dakota State and Nebraska-Lincoln on Oct. 17 at 11 a.m. CT at H&K Pool in Omaha, Neb.
