Davis, Calif. — Capping off a Senior Day meet that saw 16 student-athletes get recognized for their efforts and careers as an Aggie, UC Davis was able to capture their fourth straight meet win over Fresno State, 188-112.

Being in command of the meet from the jump, UC Davis got out to a quick lead after taking home the first event, the 200 yard medley relay. Behind the efforts of a couple seniors in Eckel, and Fasan, the other two members of the relay included Nicole Chong and Katie McLain as they posted a time of 1:41.52, winning the race by nearly four seconds.
Other top finishes for UC Davis during the swim portion of the meet included Elle Motekaitis winning the 200 yard freestyle, Fasan racing her way to the top time in the 100 yard breaststroke, McLain in both the 50 and 100 yard freestyle, Emma Hermeston in the 200 yard backstroke, Haley Hoefer in the 200 yard breaststroke, Sam Rhodes during the 500 yard freestyle, and Olivia Greenberg in the 200 yard IM to round out the individual winners. The final event of the day gave the UC Davis fans in attendance a lasting image of victory to end their last home meet as the Aggies 200 yard freestyle relay team composition of Anna Lee, Dani Fasan, Christy Douglas, and McLain picked up a one-second margin of victory with their 1:33.98 time.
For the diving portion, Sydney Wren posted the best scores in both the 3 Meter and 1 Meter events to give the Aggies some huge points during the meet, as well as a memorable performance in her final meet at Schaal Aquatics Center.
Carrying the momentum from four-straight meet victories and a successful Senior Day, UC Davis will have one more tune-up against Pacific on Jan. 28 in Stockton before heading to Utah to compete in the MPSF Championships in February.
