SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — The UC Davis swim and dive team handled Cal Poly, 221-75, in their return to the pool after a nearly two month-long midseason break.

“I thought the team did a nice job this afternoon, especially following a long day of travel,” UC Davis Head Swim Coach Matt Macedo said after the meet. “We saw a good amount of in-season best times, which is exciting especially coming out of a hard training block and not racing since mid-November. I’m excited to see how we race tomorrow as these opportunities help prepare us for the conference meet.”

UC Davis garnered 14 of the 16 available first place finishes and 21 different Aggies registered a top three placement in at least one event.
Naomi Boegholm led the way with two relay wins, an individual win in the 50 free, and a second place finish in the 100 fly. Paige Dailey had two individual wins in the 100 and 200 yard breast, while Nalanie Marinel Cortez paced the field in the 200 and 500 free and was a member of the Aggies’ second place 400 free relay squad.
Brynn Graham (200 back), Anna Boyer (100 free), Maddy Ching (200 fly) Sam Rhodes (400 IM) and Emily Scheberies (100 back) all had individual event wins.
Katie McLain was a member of both first place relay teams, while Sophi MacKay and Christy Douglas were a part of the 400 free relay win.
Mackenzie Young and Priscilla Nguyen championed the Aggie effort on the diving boards, with both placing in the top three for the 1 and 3 meter dives. Young placed first in the 1-meter and second in the 3-meter. Nguyen slotted in third both times.
UP NEXT
The swim team continues down the coast to take on UC Santa Barbara and Cal Baptist University in a tri-meet. Originally scheduled to be held in Santa Barbara, a pool closure forced the competition to be held at Pepperdine University. The meet is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m.
The divers will stick around another day for a 10:00 a.m. exhibition contest with Cal Poly.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Senior Briana Medvecki won the 3-meter dive and freshman Olivia Sundgren secured the top spot in the 1000-yard freestyle as Cal Poly women’s swimming and diving battled UC Davis in a dual Friday at Anderson Aquatic Center.

Less than a week after posting the second-best score in program history in the women’s 1-meter dive, Medvecki won the 3-meter title (257.55) in Friday’s dual against Mountain Pacific Sports Federation rival UC Davis. She also took second in the 1-meter.

Sundgren continued her impressive freshman campaign, grabbing first in the 1000 free (10:26.48) and third in the 400 individual medley. Sundgren is No. 4 all-time in the 1000 free.

Junior Taylor Lyon captured second in the 200 butterfly (2:08.20) and freshman Ella Bettencourt placed runner-up in the 100 backstroke (58.24). Senior Kelly McDermott (200 back), junior Summer Cheng (100 fly) and freshman Rhian Neitzel (200 breaststroke) all secured third-place finishes in their respective events.

Cal Poly fell to UC Davis 221-75.

The dual was the Mustangs’ first home competition since hosting Blue-Green rival UC Santa Barbara on Oct. 6.

The full Mustang team returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 27, when Cal Poly travels to UC Santa Cruz for a noon dual.
