MALIBU, Calif. — Despite competing in half the events, California Baptist University scored 590 points at Pepperdine's Malibu Invite.
The Lancers only attended day two of the meet and placed first and second in all seven individual events, as well as the two relays, on Saturday. CBU took fourth place overall as a result.
"Everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing right now. We are right where we need to be at this point and are setting up well for the rest of the season," Assistant Coach Lisa Siregar said.
CBU will have a split squad next week, the swimmers heading to UNLV for a dual Saturday at 10 a.m., while the divers host the Lancer Dive Invite at the same time.
Saturday started off on a high note, as the Lancers took first and second in the 200-yard medley relay. Jacob Leahy, Scott Tolman, Justin Quiroga and Jerome Heidrich won in one minute, 32.61 seconds, while Robert Moseley, Brandon Schuster, Adityastha Wratsangka and Josh Walters took second in 1:34.66.
The most dominant performances came in the 100 butterfly and the 500 freestyle, with the men clinching the top six spots. The Lancers actually had the top-eight swimmers in the 100 fly: Leahy (50.44), Walters (50.47), Wratsangka (50.82), Moseley (51.15), Riley Forristel (52.02), David Miller (52.29), Kyle White (52.72) and Quinn Birtles (53.28).
Schuster won the 500 free in 4:33.85 seconds, while Dylan Sweikert and Colton Babcock took second and third in 4:43.03 and 4:45.30, respectively. Josh Fluetsch (4:45.38), Birtles (4:48.61) and Miller (4:49.47) rounded out the top six for the Lancers .
Tolman (2:01.60) and Thomas Pipkin (2:12.25) went one-two and Ryan Schade placed fifth (2:13.11) in the 200 breast.
CBU swept the top four positions in the 100 backstroke. Leahy won in 50.60, while Moseley (51.25), Wratsangka (52.97) and Quiroga (53.88) filled in right behind him.
Heidrich (1:42.42), Quiroga (1:43.30) and Babcock (1:43.58) took first through third in the 200 free, which included Payton Thomas taking fifth (1:47.89).
The Lancers went one, two and four in the 50 free, thanks to Walters (21.09), Heidrich (21.27) and Tolman (21.84). Schuster also won the 100 individual medley (52.53), while Matt Amano (56.39) and Sakeri Holter (56.43) took fourth and fifth.
The Lancers ended the day like they started it by taking first and second in a relay. Heidrich, Schuster, Tolman and Quiroga won the 400-freestyle relay in 3:05.75, while Leahy, Moseley, Wratsangka and Walters touched second in 3:08.47.
