Day 2 of the 2025 Women's MVC Championships is in the books. The 2nd day of the meet saw Indiana State jump into the lead, while Southern Illinois, who was leading after day 1, slipped to 2nd. 7-time defending champions Missouri State are currently sitting in 3rd, more than 100 points behind Indiana State in the lead.

Though Southern Illinois slipped out of 1st, they still broke two more championship records on the day. The Salukis closed out the session by winning the 400 medley relay in 3:34.56, which not only shattered the championship record, but broke the MVC record as well, which SIU set in the fall at 3:34.85. Celia Pulido (51.46), Olivia Herron (59.93), Maria Padron Salazar (52.97), and Zaria Terry (50.20) teamed up to get the job done.

It was Herron who was the other record breaker on the day. Prior to the relay victory, Herron took the 200 IM in 1:57.85, shattering the championship record of 1:59.71, which had stood since 2020. Herron was just off her career and season best, which stands at 1:57.21 and is the MVC record in the event. She was strong all the way around in her race last night, but her 33.23 breaststroke split is where she really broke the race open.

Northern Iowa's Faith Larsen won the 50 free convincingly, swimming a 22.42. The performance marks a new career best for Larsen, clipping her previous best of 22.48. Additionally, the swim last night marks a new program record for Larsen. She also won her 3rd-straight MVC title in the event, which makes her the first UNI swimmer to do so in any event.
