DALLAS (SMU) – Freshman Nicole Stambo posted an NCAA Zone qualifying score and a runner-up finish on one meter to lead the Mustangs on night one of the SMU Classic Friday. The two-day event, which features six teams that made an appearance at the 2019 NCAA Division I Swimming & Diving Championships, is being held at the Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center and Barr-McMillion Natatorium and concludes Saturday at 11 a.m.

In her first event as a Mustang, Stambo posted a six-round 267.60 to eclipse the 265.00 NCAA Zone qualifying standard. NCAA Zone D Diving Championships are set for March 9-11 on SMU's campus.

Senior Erin Trahan led SMU swimmers on the night with a fourth-place finish in the Championship Final of the 100-yard butterfly, covering the distance in 53.48.

Junior Gabi Grobler and sophomore Elise Johnson had career nights for the Ponies, both posting a pair of personal-best performances. Grobler did so in the 200-yard freestyle (1:50.21) and 100-yard breaststroke (1:02.95), while Johnson's time in the 400-yard individual medley (4:29.98) and 100 breast (1:04.39) topped her previous best.

The Mustangs earned their highest relay placement of the night as Felicia Anderson, Grobler, Trahan and Sam Smith teamed up for a fourth-place finish in the opening 400-yard medley relay, clocking in at 3:38.97.

The Mustangs are currently sixth in the team standings with 108 points. No. 13 Auburn leads the field at 171.
