PASADENA - California Baptist University men's and women's swim & dive teams followed up a dominating performance over Pomona-Pitzer yesterday with another incredible showing in Saturday's double dual against host CalTech and San Diego.

SWIMMING
CBU's women racked up points on Saturday like they were going out of style. The Lancers showed their strength by placing multiple finishers in the top three in five events and sweeping the podium in the 200 Fly, 200 Breast, and 100 Fly. Olivia Walton (100 & 200 Back) and Lynn Henke (100 & 200 Breast) capped a great weekend with multiple wins, with Avery Easterling (200 Free), Gabriela Robles (200 Free), Naya Koc (100 Free), Kai Flanagan (500 Free) and Emily Drossel (100 Fly) all claiming a solo victories.
The Lancer men claimed victory in both relays, the 200 medley and 400 free, while also claiming 11 individual crowns, led by sophomore Andrew Teh, who went three-for-three on Saturday, winning the 100 and 200 backstroke events as well as the 200 butterfly. Other Lancer men with wins on the day include Remi Fabiani (50 & 200 Free), Jonathan Reiter (100 & 200 Breast), Mark Kovacsics (1,000 Free), Cody Meyer (500 Free), Brendan Man (100 Fly), Andrija Petkovic (100 Free) and Liam Flaherty (200 IM).
DIVING
Another day on the boards, another record-breaking Lancer performance. After Gael Jimenez and Mario Del Valle rewrote the men's record sheet yesterday, it was time for Audrey Thordarson-Wehner to put her stamp on the 2024-35 season. Thordarson-Wehner became just the second Lancer woman ever to break the 300-point mark and broke an eight-year-old record with her 315.30 points on the 1-meter springboard today. Thordarson-Wehner made it a clean sweep today, winning the 3-meter event with another personal-best effort of 317.70. Jade Fontenelle was next up for CBU in both events, taking second in both the 3-meter and 1-meter events, scoring 282.75 and 273.20, respectively, and earning NCAA Zone bids in both events.
Del Valle swept the men's events on Saturday, posting scores of 383.05 (3M) and 340.15 (1M) to take the wins. Nate Warson and John Angelovic traded second and third-place finishes on the day in the two events, with Warson taking second in the 3-meter and Angelovic claiming it in the 1-meter.
A busy weekend makes way for a quiet few weeks of rest and training until the Lancers hit the road again for the first invitational of the season. CBU will head to St. George, Utah, for the Trailblazer Invite, November 21-23, hosted by WAC foe Utah Tech.
