RIVERSIDE – CBU swimming turned in several strong performances on the opening day of the Rick Rowland Joust, highlighted by two top-three finishes and two additions to the program's all-time top 10.
Junior Sara Svorcan and sophomore Abigail Skinder led the way for the Lancers with top-three finishes. Svorcan placed second in the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 24.79, while Skinder finished third in the 1,650-yard freestyle in 17:13.81. It was Skinder's first attempt at the event this season.
Juniors Angelica Benitez and sophomore Anna Hassell also made their mark on the program's all-time top 10 lists. Benitez clocked a 2:20.53 in the 200-yard butterfly, moving into eighth place all-time while finishing fourth in the event. Hassell recorded a 25.58 in the 50-yard butterfly, improving from ninth to fifth on the program's all-time list. She finished 11th out of 25 competitors.
"It was a really fun first day of the Rick Rowland Joust. It was awesome to come out and race against really good competition, including a conference foe in San Diego State. We love having multiple teams here and being able to have a meet-invite style.
Angelica Benitez going 2:02 in the 200 fly to break into our top 10 all-time. Anna Hassell continues to improve and move up on the top 10 list in the 50 fly. Our relays all got better as we went throughout the day, and it was the best performance from that group we have seen so far this season. We are really excited about today and looking forward to a great meet tomorrow," said head coach Jim Bossert.
Other highlights from Day 1 included a fourth-place finish from CBU's 'A' team in the 400-yard medley relay. The quartet of freshmen Emilie Bawono, Jade Bering and Faith Fasani, along with Svorcan, finished in 3:46.39.
In the 1,650-yard freestyle, sisters Kai Flanagan and Kona Flanagan finished fourth and fifth, respectively, with times of 17:24.14 and 17:40.82.
In the team standings, the Lancers sit in third place with 392 points, trailing San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara.

Day 2 of the Rick Rowland Joust begins tomorrow at 11 a.m. Live results will be available on the Meet Mobile app.
