Five members of the Texas men’s and women’s swimming teams traveled to Toronto, Canada this past weekend for the 2022 FINA Swimming World Cup.

Representing four different countries, the Longhorns saw three different swimmers take their place on the podiums across the weekend of competition.

“We just had some really stellar performances at a Toronto World Cup, racing some of the best international kids in the world,” said Carol Capitani, women’s swimming and diving head coach, on Monday.

Senior Kelly Pash was the only Texas swimmer to take home a gold medal, winning the women’s 200 butterfly event with a time of 2:03.61. She also placed fourth in both the women’s 100 medley and the women’s 200 freestyle, as her point total reached 5,305.

Senior Caspar Corbeau, competing for the Netherlands, took second place in the men’s 50, 100, and 200 breaststroke events, finishing with 5,217 points.

Junior Anna Elendt, a native of Dreieich, Germany, competed for her home nation and earned Duetschland 3,515 points. She placed fifth in the women’s 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:21.33 and took home the bronze in the women’s 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.07.

Lydia Jacoby, a freshman from Seward, Alaska, also competed in the women’s 100 and 200 breaststroke. The former 2020 Olympic gold medalist placed fourth in the women’s 100 breaststroke, just behind Elendt with a time of 1:04.62. She posted a 2:22.36 in the women’s 200 breaststroke, earning sixth place. She also competed in the women’s 100 medley, but did not qualify for the finals as she ended with 4,115 points.

The final active Longhorn to swim was freshman Kobe Ndebele, representing the Republic of South Africa. Ndebele competed in the men’s 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events, as well as the men’s 100 butterfly event, but failed to qualify for finals in any of the four. He still finished with a total of 2,991 points.

The current Longhorns were joined by Texas alumnus Drew Kibler at the 2022 World Cup, as Kibler competed in the men’s 50 and 200 freestyle events. He took home eighth and seventh places respectively. Kibler also competed in the men’s 100 freestyle event but he finished 18th. Kibler finished with 3,362 points. 

The swimmers will head back to Austin as they prepare to face off against Virginia at home on Friday and Saturday for a combined meet. The Cavaliers are the No. 9 men’s team and the No. 1 women’s team in the country. Texas’ No. 3 women’s team will seek revenge during Saturday’s portion of the meet as Virginia was its only loss last year. The combined meet starts at 5:30 p.m. on Friday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center before the men and women will separate for a dual meet on Saturday.
