BAKERSFIELD – Twelve top-five swims highlighted California Baptist University's second meet of the season at the CSU Bakersfield Sprint Classic on Friday afternoon.
Jacob Leahy, Sean Foster, Josh Walters, and Robert Moseley led the Lancers at CSU Bakersfield's John S. Hillman Memorial Aquatic Center. CBU totaled 547.1 points, while UC Santa Barbara finished first (597.3), and host CSUB took second (589.2).
CBU will take part in the Roadrunner Invite at CSU Bakersfield, while its divers will make their season debut at the Lancer Diving Invite at the Lancer Aquatics Center on Saturday. Both events begin at 10 a.m.
Leahy, Foster, Walters, and Matthew Niculae won the 200-yard medley relay in one minute, 31.39 seconds. It helped continue a hot start to the season for Leahy, who added a win in the 50 free and a runner-up finish in the 50 butterfly before the day was done.
Leahy took second in the 50 fly in 22.19 seconds and won the 50 free in 21.02. He actually swam the 50 free faster at 20.68 on the leadoff leg of the 200-free relay. It was just .03 of a second off his CBU personal best of 20.65, which ranks sixth in CBU's history.
