The Puget Sound Loggers swept the Pioneers in the final dual meet of the season, with the men falling 101-76 and the women bowing 113-86 (results).

Swimming against a strong Puget Sound team--many of whom swam exhibition races--the Pioneer women had several strong times. Lindsay Nixon (junior, Chino Hills, CA) placed first in both the 400IM and 100fly. Koy Collier (junior, Wailuku, HI) added a top time in the 100 free.

For the men, Justin Lawton (senior, Tokyo, Japan) and Sam Palmer (sophomore, Salt Lake City, UT) took the top two times respectively in the 50 free. Lawton also placed first in the 100 free. Matt Lormand (sophomore, Wheat Ridge, CO) swam uncontested in the 800 free.

The Loggers are known for being one of the strongest teams in the conference--the women have won the Northwest Conference Championship for the past ten years and the men have won three championships in the past ten years, while placing second or third the other seven years. 

The Pioneers next compete at the Northwest Conference Championships, which start at 10AM on February 8th in Federal Way, Washington. Check back for scores and updates.
