January 9, 2026 Louisville, Kentucky — Ralph Wright Natatorium SCY (25 Yards) Full Meet Results Team Scores Women: #7 Louisville 205 — Missouri 90 Men: #11 Louisville 198 — #21 Missouri 101Louisville swept Missouri in their dual meet on Friday as the Louisville women’s team was bolstered by a few huge international additions at the midpoints, some known and some unknown.
Women’s Meet Recap
All eyes were on Anastasia Gorbenko as she swam her first NCAA meet at 22-years-old. Last year, SwimSwam reported that she had enrolled at Louisville for the spring semester, and after a full year of enrollment, she would be eligible to compete beginning in January of 2026.
This enrollment period was imposed by the NCAA for athletes who participated in the ISL before they would be allowed to compete. Gorbenko burned a year of eligibility in this process, and is officially listed as a sophomore.
Gorbenko swam three events at the meet. She started as the freestyler on Louisville’s ‘C’ 200 medley relay, splitting 21.85 to bring the team home in 4th place overall. The Louisville ‘A’ team consisted of Julie Mishler (24.34), Caroline Larsen (26.34), Ella Welch (22.75), and Julia Dennis (21.26), and they touched in 1:34.69 for the win.
Her only individual event was the women’s 100 breaststroke, which she swam in 58.45. This will move her up to 11th in the country this season, and it was only her first time swimming the event in SCY. Mia Cheatwood finished 2nd for the Cardinals in 59.93.
Finally, she wrapped up her meet on the 2nd leg of Louisville’s ‘B’ 400 freestyle relay, splitting a massive 47.66 to help the team finish 3rd overall in 3:17.09. The ‘A’ relay saw Caroline Larsen (47.88), Julia Dennis (47.36), Julie Mishler (48.43), and Ella Welch (48.69) swim 3:12.36 for the top time.
Gorbenko was not the only midseason addition for the Cardinals. Sweden’s Thilda Hall joined the team as a freshman, and walked home with two individual event wins in her first outings. Hall is a distance swimmer, who swam on Sweden’s World Championships team over the summer, racing the 400, 800, and 1500 freestyle events. Her highest finish came in the form of a 21st place in the 400.
She started with the top time in the women’s 1000, coming in at 9:37.10 which is the 11th fastest time in the country this season.
She also won the 500 freestyle in 4:43.69, coming in a little more than half-a-second ahead of teammate Leticia Fassina Romao‘s 4:44.27.
The Cardinals were also bolstered by performances from returning swimmers, ultimately winning all but one individual swimming event over the course of the meet.
The 200 freestyle went to Summer Cardwell in 1:45.82, coming in more than a second ahead of teammate Daria Golovaty‘s 1:47.24 in 2nd.
Cardwell also won the 200 IM in 1:58.47 to fellow Cardinal Kim Emely Herkle‘s 1:59.15 by about a second.
Senior sprinter Julia Dennis led a Louisville sweep in the 50 and 100 freestyle events. In the 50 free, she swam 21.78 to lead a Cardinal top four of Caroline Larsen (21.98), Julie Mishler (22.22), and Ella Welch (22.50).
The 100 free saw Dennis touch in 48.02 to come in a little more than a second ahead of Julie Mishler‘s 49.24. Daria Golovaty finished 3rd for the team in 49.67.
Camille Murray and Xeniya Ignatova split the backstroke events with Murray taking the 100 in 51.82, winning by more than two seconds ahead of Ignatova’s 53.95. The freshman Ignatova won the 200 backstroke in 1:54.37, coming in about two seconds ahead of Murray’s 1:56.75.
Mia Cheatwood and Caroline Larsen were the final two event winners for the Cardinals. Cheatwood won the 200 breaststroke in 2:09.42, while Larsen swam the top 100 fly time of 51.62.
The only swimming event that Louisville did not win was the women’s 200 butterfly, which was won by Mizzou’s Maeve DeYoung in 1:58.71. This swim was just off DeYoung’s lifetime best 1:58.49 from the Mizzou Invite in November.
Missouri also won both diving events with junior Gaby Carmona, who scored 290.48 on the 1 meter and 314.10 on the 3 meter.
