2025 Mizzou Invitational
November 20-22, 2025 Mizzou Aquatic Center, Columbia, MO SCY (25 yards) Prelims: 9:30/ Finals: 5:30 Teams: Missouri, TCU, FIU, Wyoming, Southern Illinois, McKendree, Missouri S&T “2025 Mizzou Invitational” on Meet Mobile Day 1 Results | Day 1 Recap Day 2 Results | Day 2 Recap Complete Meet ResultsSouthern Illinois’ Olivia Herron won her 3rd individual event of the meet and the Missouri men’s sprint group finished strong on the final day of competition at the 2025 Missouri Invitational.
This meet is using a novel event lineup that correlates neither to the new NCAA Championship lineup, nor the old one, meaning the last day of competition included the 200 IM, 100 free, 200 fly, 200 back, and 1650 freestyles.
Herron won the first of those events, the 200 IM, in 1:57.20. If repeated in February at the Missouri Valley Championships en route to a conference title defense, that would earn her an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. She qualified last year based on her breaststroke times alone (and is likely in that boat again this season), and that’s where she swam her best time in the 200 IM of 1:56.46.
Other Day 3 winners, where the Missouri Tigers dominated with four event victories:
Missouri’s Zara Zallen won her first race of the meet, touching in a season best of 48.59 in the women’s 100 free. She had kind of an interesting meet: she swam 22.58 in the 50 free prelims before scratching finals, won the 100 free, and posted a big lifetime best in the 100 breaststroke, an event where she really didn’t make a lot of progress in college until last year’s SEC Championship meet. Missouri’s Maeve de Young won the women’s 200 fly in 1:58.49, ahead of teammate Kylee Sullivan (1:59.35). That was about a nine-tenths improvement for de Young on her previous lifetime best. Missouri’s Libby Bakker won the 200 back in 1:55.45, making for a 2.67 drop across the two rounds of competition and finishing an electric mid-season debut. She also swam best times in the 50 free (23.26), 200 free (1:48.33), 50 back (24.84), and 100 back (53.07), and swept the backstroke races (including dual medley relay wins). Missouri dominated another diving event, finishing 1-2-3-4-6 on women’s platform, including a win by Jazzelle Eikerman (254.85). The Wyoming women pulled off a big upset in the closing 400 free relay, the only relay Missouri didn’t win at the meet. Raiden Harris (49.46), Veronika Ozimek (50.43), Avery True (50.10), and the team’s star sprinter Tara Joyce (48.21) combined for a 3:18.20. That time is already two seconds faster than their season best from last year, where the relay finished just 7th. Missouri was 2nd on Saturday in 3:18.49, including a 48.39 anchor from Lina Bank. They swam that relay without the 100 free champion Zallen. They too were just-ahead of a balanced Florida International relay that placed 3rd in 3:18.56. Wyoming’s swim set a new school record as well. That was Wyoming’s second women’s win of Saturday, after Macey Hansen won a nearly wire-to-wire nailbiter in the 1650 free, touching in 16:19.11. That put her 1.2 seconds ahead of Missouri’s runner-up Zoe Schneider, who closed well over the last 150 yards but ultimately had too much room to make up.On the men’s side, the story of the day was the Missouri sprinters, with sophomore Luke Nebrich winning the 100 free in 41.77 and Francois Malherbe finishing 2nd in 42.88. The Tigers had six of the eight A-Finalists, though Wyoming’s Jack Boysen had a nice B-Final swim to win in 43.95.
That swim for Nebrich was his second win of the meet after the 50 free (18.82), and second best time after the 100 fly (46.59 – done in prelims).
He was part of a 61% personal bests effort for the Missouri men at the meet according to Swimcloud data – an exceptionally-high percentage for a mid-season meet.
Malherbe’s time was also a lifetime best by .79 seconds.
The two then combined efforts to lead the Tigers to a dominant 400 free relay win. Nebrich led off in 42.17, followed by Ethan Vance (43.14), Darden Tate (42.67), and Malherbe on the anchor (42.27). The relay touched in 2:50.25, a time that even with Nebrich not being at his best on the leadoff leg is .03 seconds faster than the Tigers’ best 400 free relay last year from the SEC Championships.
Other Day 3 Standouts and winners:
McKendree’s Vova Gavrysh crushed his best time in the 200 fly to win in 1:42.33, making himself the favorite to win this year after Jackson Lustig’s graduation. Missouri’s Jan Zubik, in fact, had the fastest time of the day with a 1:41.54 from prelims, which was a best time for him too. TCU’s Filip Suchanski won the 200 back in 1:41.69, leading a TCU 1-2 finish with Edgar Cicnaci (1:42.39). Wyoming finished a strong day in the distance races with another win from Isaac Lee in 15:03.74. After improving three seconds in the 200 and five seconds in the 500, that was a 26 second drop for the sophomore transfer from Auburn. He wasn’t the only big dropper in that race – Matthew Mortenson, who has been ravaging his best times all meet as well, dropped a whopping 50 seconds to finish 2nd in 15:17.76. Wyoming also picked up a win from freshman Jackson Kogler in the 200 IM, dropping six seconds off his previous lifetime best and setting a new Wyoming Record – one of nine for the Cowboys at the meet and one of four for the Cowboy men on the last day alone. The runner-up Benedek Andor from Southern Illinois also broke a school record in 1:45.20, one of five for the Salukis at the meet.Wyoming’s School Records at the 2025 Mizzou Invite:
