Swimming Sweeps against Pacific

The Pioneer swim teams started the second half of their season split well on Friday night, posting a win verus the Pacific Boxers with scores of 136-45 for the women and 95-84 for the men. (Results)

 

 Swimming against only seven Boxer women, the Pioneer women took an early lead with a first and second place finish in the first event and would continue to hold that lead for the remainder of the meet. For the Pioneers, Cat Menkel-Lawrence (freshman, Newport, OR) and Koy Collier (junior, Wailuku, HI) were the only two women to post multiple first place finishes in individual events. Menkel-Lawrence placed first in the 500 free and managed to edge out Pacific's Alex Prigge's 200 free time of 2:10.58 with her own time of 2:10.10. Collier placed first in both the 200IM and the 100 free. The Pionner's Rachel Yarranton (senior, San Maeto, CA) also swam a good meet placing first in the 50 free and coming in less than two seconds behind Collier in the 100 free. Despite only having seven female swimmers, the Boxers swam well, posting five second place times and several third place times. Prigge held the lone win for the Boxers with a top time in the 200 back.
