GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – Colorado Mesa University remains the leader in both the men’s and women’s team championship races after Day 2 of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships on Tuesday at El Pomar Natatorium.

All championship sessions are available on RMACNetwork.com. A championship pass, which provides access to the entire championship, costs $30. Daily passes are also available for $9.99 per day. Live results and team scoring are available via the Colorado Mesa athletics website.

Colorado Mesa ended the first full day of the championship with a 555-327 lead over second-place Simon Fraser in the women’s championship. In the men’s race, the Mavericks lead is just 36 points, 279.50-243.50, over Colorado School of Mines.

The Mavericks’ lead in the women’s team race was aided massively by the 200-individual medley, winning the top four spots and claiming 113 total points. Sophia Bains led the effort with a 2:03.49 to claim the gold, while teammates Tori Bartusiak (2:06.06) and Katie Speerschneider (2:06.40) won the silver and bronze medals. Tylar Hooton’s fourth-place finish (2:06.46) finished the stunning points haul.

The men’s race remains tight courtesy of the Colorado School of Mines’ performance in the 1000 freestyle event, where it won three of the top four spots and 52 points. Vladislav Kazakin won the event with a 9:17.57, and teammate Joseph Tev-Lov finished second with a 9:25.94. Lucas Hoke finished fourth in 9:30.48 to cap a strong showing in one of the long-distance events.
