Two weeks into Winter Training, the Sagehens took on the Bulldogs from Redlands. Despite their best efforts, the team came up short as they fell to the Bulldogs 157-83.
Junior Joe LaBriola, Freshman Ryan Higgins and Junior Tom Cleveland went 2-3-4 in the 200 freestyle. Junior All-American Max Scholten won the two individual events he contested as he took first in the 50 free and 200 backstroke with times of 22.13 and 1:58.08. Junior Chris Wright went head-to-head with two-time SCIAC male athlete of the year Tyler Harp in the 200 fly but came up just short, swimming a season-best 2:03.52. Senior Erik Peterson and Sophomore Tommy DePaoli finished 3-4 in the event as well.
J.P. Cumming came back after competing in the mile and 400 IM earlier in the day to take second in the 500 free with a season-best 5:03.04 while Joe LaBriola dropped almost 9 seconds from his previous season-best time to finish 3rd with a 5:03.69. Freshman diver Tyler Oe also chipped in with 18 points toward the score after winning both boards.
