Another pair of meet records and a second SCIAC record fell by the conclusion of the meet. Mackenzie Mayfield of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges stepped up in a highly anticipated 200-yard butterfly race to clock a conference-record 2:01.30, while Pomona-Pitzer rookie Izzy Yoon secured the 100/200 Back double with a record-breaking 2:00.61. Francesca Coppo, Nina Aballea, Charlotte Dixon and Valerie Mello capped the nightwith a new meet record in the 400 Free Relay, touching in 3:21.54 with Mello anchoring in the only sub-50 split of the race (49.17)
The Sagehens entered the day with an 84-point lead and gave up more than half of that margin in the opening event, the 1650 Free, before asserting their dominance with three consecutive podium sweeps. Yoon fronted a quartet of rookies with Dixon, Amaia Sherman and Mollie Appl atop the 200 Back results, followed by Mello sprinting to a 49.95 in the 100 Free ahead of Aballea and Coppo. Emmie Appl joined May Ling Roberts and Graeleigh Jones in the 100 Breast to complete the feat.
CMS finished second as a team with 886 points, followed by Chapman University for a second straight year with 442.5 points. California Lutheran University trailed the Panthers by only 25.5 points while Occidental College flipped an 18-point deficit to edge Caltech by six, 311-305. Whittier College secured seventh place with 205 points as the University of Redlands ended with 161 and the University of La Verne on 96.
Katy Shaw became a three-time 1650 Free champion to match the same feat achieved in the 500 Free the second day of the meet. Two-sport teammate Reverse Schmidt finished runner-up ahead of Kendall Moffitt for the Regals. Kiana Tanizaki-Hudson, the 100 Fly champion from Day Three, added another All-Conference accolade to an impressive resume likely ticketed for the NCAA Championships with a runner-up finish in the 200 Fly, followed by the Athenas’ multi-All-Conference honoree Sun Young Byun. CMS earned a silver medal and CLU bronze to end the night.
Those with NCAA ‘B’ cuts will await potential selection to the Division III Championship, for which the top 20 individual and additional at-large bids will be announced on Wednesday, Feb. 26.

Defending 1650-yard freestyle national champion Lucas Lang of CMS lowered his own meet record set in 2022 by half a second to 15:22.23 while Whittier College’s Thomas Langlois put himself in good position to qualify for the NCAA Championship with what currently ranks as the sixth-fastest time in the country (15:33.32). Rookie Garrett Krattiger delivered a highlight with the Bulldogs’ first individual event championship since Aaron Bauer in 2019. The first-year stretched to out-touch Jeremy Tan of CMS by the slimmest of margins at .01, with the pair followed by Sagehen rookie Diego Hodge who was the first of three Pomona-Pitzer rookies to finish chronologically.
Casey Jacobs picked up another two championship titles with wins in the 100 Free (44.54) and 400 Free Relay, alongside Adrian Clement, Hodge and Kyle Huang, as the only sub three-minute team (2:59.73) with Jacobs anchoring in 43.99. Chapman’s Simon Jacobs added another silver medal to his haul from the meet as the only other sub 45-second 100 freestyler, ahead of Clement in third place. California Lutheran’s Lincoln Hall finally reached the summit of the conference after back-to-back years of bronze-medal performances, winning the 200 Breast with a 1:59.43 that puts him on the bubble for NCAA selection while junior college All-American transfer teammate Markus Stegbuchner placed third to bookend CMS’s Evan Deedy. Huang, Hodge and Gordon Kenny closed out the individual events with a 200 Fly sweep for the Sagehens, with Huang clocking a 1:48.57. The night concluded with CMS finishing second in the 400 Free Relay and Chapman third.
