🏊‍♀️ Kansas Set to Host Nebraska for Jayhawks For a Cure Meet
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas swimming and diving team is set to host Nebraska on Saturday, November 5th, at 2 p.m. CT in the Robinson Natatorium.
The Jayhawks will face off against the Cornhuskers for the team’s third dual of the season, after defeating South Dakota and Lindenwood in the Kansas Double Dual on October 21-22. KU won the meet by a combined score of 542.5-161.5.
At the Kansas Double Dual, senior Amelie Lessing won three events, including the 200 yard butterfly, 200 yard individual medley and 400 yard individual medley. Freshman diver Lize van Leeuwen won the three-meter diving event, finishing with a score of 309.95.
