RESULTS

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Three individual wins from Brandon Schuster and two others from Scott Tolman helped California Baptist University pick up its second victory over a Western Athletic Conference foe at CSU Bakersfield at the John S. Hillman Memorial Aquatic Center on Saturday.

The Lancers received a number of other highlight performances in their 185-115 win in Bakersfield. It gave CBU its second dual win in as many days, as it improved to 3-0 this season, while the Roadrunners start out 0-1. The Lancers take a week off before heading to the Mizzou Invite Nov. 15-17.

Schuster won all three of his events he swam on Saturday. He won the 200-yard freestyle in one minute, 39.47 seconds, the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:51.90 and the 500 free in 4:36.19. Tolman won both 100 and 200 breaststrokes, with respective times of 55.50 and 2:00.99.

Zane Freeman was impressive on both boards for CBU, as well. The sophomore won the 3-meter event with 297.45 points and then took second on 1-meter (268.80). Garret Chew won the 1-meter event for CBU with a 295.95.

"Zane continues to show his strengths in our first four competitions, and is looking in top form," Dive Coach Jeff Couto said. "He is extremely consistent and I can always count on him to be in the top of the pack."

There was plenty of depth for CBU on the day. The Lancers had two other top-four finishers behind Schuster in the 200 free, with Jerome Heidrich in second (1:41.17) and Colton Babcock in fourth (1:41.78).

Tolman (1:54.18), Justin Quiroga (1:54.82) and Adityastha Wratsangka (1:54.84) took third through fifth in the 200 IM. Dylan Sweikert finished runner-up in the 500 free (4:43.81), while Sean Foster took second in the 200 breast (2:06.93) and third in the 100 breast (57.30).

The 200 butterfly was another deep event for CBU. Quiroga won it by half a second (1:51.40) in front of Wratsangka (1:51.90), with freshman David Miller coming in third (1:52.40).

In the 100 free, Jacob Leahy won in 45.87, while Heidrich took third (46.28). Sweikert added another win for CBU in the 1000 free (9:39.16).

The Lancers were victorious in both relays, too. Leahy, Tolman, Quiroga and Josh Walters won the 200-medley relay in 1:31.14. Heidrich, Babcock, Robert Moseley and Walters claimed victory in the 400-free relay (3:04.19).

CBU may not have won the 100 butterfly, but they had the second through fifth-place finishers: Quiroga (49.27), Wratsangka (50.44), Leahy (50.67) and Walters (50.90).

Leahy (49.59) and Moseley (51.21) finished second and third in the 100 back. Moseley also took second in the 200 back (1:51.59), while Matthew Niculae finished third (1:53.98). Heidrich added another runner-up finish for CBU in the 50 free (21.27).
