Get ready to dive into what our lady swimmer and divers have been getting into lately.
Swim and diving records:
Evelyn Entrekin (swim), ranked 1st at the University of Houston and 17th overall in the Big 12 conference. In a recent meet, Entrekin scored an NCAA B-cut in the 100-yard breaststroke, timed at 1:00.29, finishing second. On January 31st, she won against Rice in the 100 breast. October 30th, 2025, she finished 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:00.50. I think it’s safe to say Ms. Entrekin is giving mermaids difficult competition.
Virag Peter (swim), a Pecs, Hungary native, is currently ranked 2nd at UH, 26th in the Big 12, and 34th in Hungary. As a sophomore 2023-24, she finished fourth in the 200 Breast (2:11.76) at Big 12 Championships. In high school, she was the National Junior Champion in four events: 50-meter breaststroke, 100-meter breaststroke, 200-meter breaststroke, and 200-meter IM. Peter is a ten-time National Champion in Youth and Junior Championships.
Senior Noor El Gendy holds one of Houston’s top spots with a time of 1:56.08 in the 200 butterfly, marking the second-fastest time in program history. She is ranked 1st in Egypt and 3rd at UH. The Cairo, Egypt native also earned an NCAA B-Cut in 100- and 200-yard butterflies. She concluded last season, setting a program record in the 100-yard butterfly. Before her colligate career, she won the Athletic Excellence Award while attending Hayah International Academy.
This past Thursday, Michelle Mcleod (diving) became a 3-time award recipient, (Big 12 Diver of the week 2x recipient). In a meet against A&M she scored 287.48 in the 1-meter springboard and 308.63 in the 3-meter springboard. On the day of competition, Mcleod struck wins in the 1-meter (289.80) as well in the 3-meter (301.20) springboard diving competitions. McLeod also earned Zone Cuts in both events.
