BAKERSFIELD, California, November 1. IN the quadruple-team dual meets hosted by Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday, Nov. 1, the Pacific men's swimming team split its events with a 153-131 victory over Fresno Pacific and a 145-116 loss to the hosting Roadrunners as Loyola Marymount does not have a men's team. The women went a perfect 3-0 against all of the day's opponents. <\/p>\n
After the meet, the men now move to 1-2 overall, while the women have a 3-1 overall record one month into the season. <\/p>\n
The Tigers' combined results boasts many individual and team victories on the day, as freshmen Jayme Swalin (Kenmore, Wash.) and junior Devonie Migues (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) each recorded two first-place finishes a piece and led all Pacific swimmers. The women recorded another victory as a team when the 200 Medley Relay squad finished first place to start off the day, setting the tone for the afternoon with a 1:49.27 finish. Seniors Jun Huang (Guangzhou, China), Jenny Lewis (Hesperia, Calif.) and April Woo (Honolulu, Hawaii) also swam on that team. <\/p>\n
Jayme's two individual wins started off with the 1000 Free, when she touched the wall in 10:21.58, just seconds before junior KC Albiston's (Salt Lake City, Utah) 10:24.76 time and junior Brooke Cashion's (Irvine, Calif.) 10:48.84 to go 1-2-3 for the Tigers. Swalin's speed broke her previous time of 10:28.15 set in the dual meet against California on Oct. 11, and establishes a new season and career high at Pacific. <\/p>\n
Jayme ended the day with another long-distance win to help the Tigers go 1-2 in the 500 Free, as she recorded a time of 5:04.93. Albiston followed behind again to take second place in 5:07.99. <\/p>\n
Migues claimed her first individual victory in the 200 Breast as she finished 2:23.92 and set a new career low. The Tigers sandwiched their way around Tammy Choy of Loyola Marymount to take first and third in the event, as Woo went 2:31.73 in third place. <\/p>\n
Dual meet scores for the women's team were 185-102 against Cal State Bakersfield, who closed the margin with scores in diving, 182-74 against Fresno Pacific and 154-106 over Loyola Marymount. <\/p>\n
In men's action, senior Stephen Quinn (Livermore, Calif.) and Matt Lundy (Lafayette, Colo.) and junior Patrick Walton (Lodi, Calif.) each touched the wall first in their individual events to give the men three victories on the day. <\/p>\n
Stephen kicked things off in the 200 Free, when he recorded his fastest time of the season in 1:43.91. His previous time was 1:44.89 in the Oct. 11 dual meet against California. <\/p>\n
In a second 200-yard event, Walton recorded the men's next individual title when he started off a Pacific sweep of the top three times in the 200 Breast. Patrick recorded a time of 2:14.84 in first, as senior Dave Platow's (Westport, Conn.) 2:15.44 secured him a second-place finish in front of junior Garrett Murphy's (Pleasanton, Calif.) 2:21.27 third-place speed. <\/p>\n
Pacific's third event victory came in yet another 200-yard event, when Lundy pulled off a 1:58.46 speed in the 200 IM, barely ahead of freshman Kevin Byers (Puyallup, Wash.) who finished in second with a time of 2:00.36. <\/p>\n
The Tigers will continue their road swing next weekend, when they head to Denver, Colo., in a dual meet against Denver on Saturday, Nov. 8. <\/p>\n
