SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Cal Poly won all but two races on Friday as both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams celebrated Senior Day with much success to also close out the home meet slate.

To kick off Senior Day with diving at 11:00 AM, Ava Lazovsky showed out with 280.13 points for the 3-meter win and a Zone qualifying score. Also, for the first time since becoming Queen of the Diving Boards and recovering from a lingering injury, Shayna Gayer seemed back to full health with a 1-meter win (263.78).

On the men's diving side, Lucas Lehrer swept the springboard events, scoring 316.95 in the 3-meter and 295.35 in the 1-meter.

Summer Cheng earned two individual race wins in the 50 Free (24.42) and 100 Fly (58.62) to pair with a 200 Free Relay (1:39.00) in the leadoff position alongside Ella Bettencourt, Rhian Neitzel, and Melia Costa.

Winning the 100 Breast (1:07.64) and 200 IM (2:11.54) was Amalie Claus-Udarbe while also helping Cal Poly's 400 Medley Relay win (3:58.44) with Kristin Der, Mikaela Gomez, and Keira Scott. Der totaled two wins, one being the relay and the other being an individual 100 Breast victory (58.76).
