DALLAS -- After suffering a pair of disqualifications early on day one of the two-day Dallas Morning News Classic, No. 17 Northwestern is in 3rd place among the collegiate entries at the meet.
The Wildcats have 110.5 points, six points shy of second place Arizona State. No. 24 SMU is leading the collegiate entries with 151 points, while No. 19 USC is in fourth with 60 points. A team of post-graduate Texas "All-Stars" including a trio of U.S. Olympic gold medalists leads the meet with 186 points.
Each school is allowed two entries per event, with one diver competing on each board. The two swimmers from each school are split up into an `A' final and a `B' final.
The meet did not get started in a good way for Northwestern, which was disqualified in the first event, the 400 medley relay. Freshman Peter Park (Princeton, N.J./Peddie School) then was DQed in the `A' final of the 400 IM. Classmate Alex Tyler (Birmingham, Mich./Birmingham Groves) scored NU's first points with a second-place time of 3:58.45 in the `B' heat of the 400 IM. The effort by Tyler was NU's best time of the season in the event.
Junior Eric Nilsson (Weston, Mass./Weston) was second in the 200 free with an NCAA `B' provisional qualifying standard time of 1:37.33. Classmate Adam Beckman (Kearney, Neb./Kearney) took third in the `B' heat with a season-best 1:41.04.
In the 50 free, senior Bruno Barbic (Zagreb, Croatia/V. Gymnazija) tied for third with a 20.67, while Jon Ehret (Phoenix, Ariz./Brophy College Prep) was fourth in the consolation final heat with a 21.01.
During the evening's diving break, senior Ryan McIntosh (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) finished third with a 285.40 on the 1-meter board.
In the 100 fly, senior Kyle Bubolz (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha North) swam his best time of the year, a 46.80 `A' automatic qualifying time. Bubolz finished first among college swimmers in the heat, and second overall only to U.S. Olympic gold medalist Ian Crocker of the Texas All-Star team. Ehret was third in the consolation final with a 50.44, besting SMU's Nate Clark by .06 of a second.
Beckman swam in the `A' final of the 100 back for NU, finishing in fourth place with a 51.06. Park was fifth in the `B' final with a 52.29. In the 100 breast, John Franklin (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./North Broward Prep) took third with a 57.67, while Tyler was fifth in the `B' final with a 58.37.
The team of Park, Nilsson, Bubolz and Tyler concluded day one action with a 6:40.85 in the 800 free relay to take third place.
Day two of the Dallas Morning News Classic begins at 7:30 p.m. CT tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 12. For more information on the meet, including advertised live results, link to SMUmustangs.com.
