The San José State women’s swimming and diving team continued its strong start to the season defeating UC Davis in a head-to-head match, 172-128, Friday at the Schaal Aquatics Center in Davis, Calif.
"This was a tremendous team performance today,” said head coach Sage Hopkins. “Top to bottom, from every class. Davis is a solid program, and our swimmers and divers came in ready to compete. We came out of the second diving break very fired up, winning the next four events and winning 7 out of the 8 final events. Our Spartan swimmers and divers are a tough team that is very focused and very tight knit."
San José State was led by freshman Morgan McCormick, as she finished with three individual first place finishes. McCormick took the top spot in the 100 back (56.81), 200 back (2:02.89) and 200 IM (2:05.63).
Junior Riley Spitser also had a strong day for the Spartans, ending the meet with a pair of first place finishes in the 1000 free (10:11.35) and 500 Free (4:58.18).
Freshman Cari Reiswig continues to impress on the diving board for the Spartans. The Galt, Calif. native, took the 1-meter springboard with a total score of 296.48, breaking the previous school record of 294.75 set by Amy Kilby against UCSC in 2011. Reiswig also took the top spot in the 3-meter platform with a score of 321.60.
San José State will be back in action on Saturday, October 25, at UC Santa Cruz at 9:00 a.m. followed by a meet at the Aquatic Center in San Jose at 4:00 p.m.
