MONTEREY PARK, Calif. — Senior men's swimmer Paul Rogers and junior men's swimmer Alexander Nikolaev each had second-place finishes in their respective events to highlight Cal Poly at the final day of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships on Saturday in Monterey Park.
Rogers, who won the 200-yard freestyle on Friday and also broke the event's meet and school record (which was also a top-16 time in the country this season at the time), finished second in the 100 free on Saturday, with a time of 43.55. That time was good for a personal best for Rogers and is the second-fastest time in school history in the event.
Nikolaev had a second place in the 1,650 (one mile) free, finishing with a time of 15:30.3.
Diving also wrapped up on Saturday with freshman Tyler Wesson scoring a 237.10 in the platform dive, which is the third-best score in school history. Wesson finished eighth in the event.
Overall as a team, the Cal Poly women's team finished the MPSF Championships in sixth place while the men's team finished fifth in head coach Tom Milich's final time coaching the Mustangs at the MPSF Championships.
