The Sagehens made their biggest move in the 50 Free with five top-8 finishes, including the 1-2 by Coppo and Mello.
In the afternoon 1-meter diving session, CMS posted another big haul of points with a podium sweep. Izzy Doud completed the first 1m-3m double in the conference since 2016 with a score of 406.55 as two of the final three dives scored above 43.0. Meilan Uyeno was the runner-up on 393.45 points thanks to a field-best individual dive score of 48.0 on an inward 1 ½ somersault in tuck while Alexis Romero took third by a thin 2.90-point margin.
Katy Shaw claimed a third 500 Free title in as many years with a near-five second victory at 4:58.89 ahead of teammate Allison Nguyen and Pomona-Pitzer’s Abby Raclaw. Mackenzie Mayfield repeated as 200 IM champion with a winning time of 2:03.57, just out-touching Emmie Appl of the Sagehens by a mere .02. Graeleigh Jones earned bronze to continue a four-place stretch among seven total Pomona-Pitzer scorers in the event. CLU’s Madi Bodhidatta took third in the 50 Free for the Regals and returned to the podium on the bronze medal 200 Free Relay behind CMS in second to end the night.
