SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Eight Mustangs won two individual events and a total of 20 won at least one event as the Cal Poly men's and women's swimming and diving teams won all 32 events Saturday over UC Santa Cruz in the final home event of the season.
Cal Poly saved its most dominating performance of the season for senior day as 14 seniors competed for the last time at Anderson Aquatic Center. Those seniors went out with a bang as the men's team beat the Banana Slugs 179-106 and the women's team won 180-95. It was also head coach Tom Milich's final time of his career coaching his teams at home.
Junior Alexander Nikolaev, senior Meghan Rainier, junior Sascha Keir, senior Amelia Feick, senior Miles Dunn, freshman Garrison Price, senior Nic Clark, and sophomore Joelle Weltner each won two individual events on the afternoon.
Nikolaev won the 1000-yard freestyle and 500 free, Rainier took the 200 free and 500 free, Keir won the 100 and 200 backstroke, Feick was victorious in the 100 breaststroke and 200 IM, Dunn won both the 100 and 200 breast, Price took the 100 and 200 butterfly, Clark won the 50 and 100 free, and Weltner placed first in the 1M and 3M dives.
The Mustangs began the meet by winning the first two team relay events. The Cal Poly quartet of seniors Emily Peters and Amelia Feick, as well as Keir and freshman Erin Kim won the women's 400-yard medley relay with a time of 3:56.46. The men's team of junior Daniel Macavei, freshman Noah Otsuka, Price, and senior Paul Rogers won the 400 medley relay with a time of 3:28.12.
In the final two team relay events, Cal Poly's Kim, Peters, freshman Amy Harter, and junior Emelia Piccininni won the 200 free relay with a time of 1:37.58. In the men's 200 free relay, the Mustangs' foursome of Rogers, Clark, freshman Ryan Iannaccone, and sophomore Boston Williams won with a time of 1:24.57.
The Mustangs will wrap up the regular season next Saturday, Feb. 1 in a road dual meet against Central Coast rival UC Santa Barbara at 11 a.m. The Gauchos came out on top on both the men's and women's sides when the two schools met in San Luis Obispo back in October.
