Iowa State Cyclones Prepare for Texas Road Trip Showdown
The Iowa State swim and dive team are gearing up for an exciting weekend as they head south to Texas for back-to-back duels against the TCU Horned Frogs and the North Texas Mean Green. The Cyclones, currently 3-2 on the season, are coming off a strong win over Northern Iowa and are ready to face tough competition in the Lone Star State.
TCU Preview: A Test for Iowa State
In their first conference duel of the year, the Cyclones will face a formidable opponent in the TCU Horned Frogs. TCU, who recently placed second in the Art Adamson Invitational, will provide a challenging test for Iowa State. Despite a 6-2 advantage in the all-time series, the Cyclones were defeated 162-138 in their last meeting with TCU.
One standout to watch for the Horned Frogs is senior diver Anna Kwong, who has had a stellar season so far. While TCU lacks standout swimmers, their well-rounded team poses a threat to Iowa State. The Cyclones will need to rely on their deep roster of divers to secure a victory in this matchup.
North Texas Preview: A Clash of Titans
Following their duel with TCU, Iowa State will face off against the North Texas Mean Green. Despite being a smaller program, North Texas has proven to be a tough competitor with a 3-1 record in duels this season. Led by junior Kamryn Wong, the Mean Green’s dive squad will test the Cyclones’ skills in the water.
While Iowa State has dominated past meetings with North Texas, the Mean Green’s recent successes make them a worthy adversary. The Cyclones will need to stay focused and bring their A-game to secure another victory on the road.
As the Cyclones embark on their Texas road trip, fans can expect thrilling matchups and fierce competition from both TCU and North Texas. Iowa State’s performance in these duels will set the tone for the rest of their season as they aim for success in the Big 12 conference.
