SEATTLE - Seattle U men's and women's swimming closed out their 2023-24 home slate when they hosted British Columbia Friday night at the Redhawk Center. The men's team fell to the Thunderbirds with a final score of 116-123, while the women dropped the meet 56-199. The Redhawks combined to win eight races on the day as they also celebrated their senior class.
"This afternoon was a great event," said head coach Joe Dykstra. "I'm so proud of our seniors as they closed out their last home meet, and proud of the team and staff overall."
The Redhawks swept the 200 Fly on the day, with Nohea Kamauu (2:09.92) and Keanu Lee (1:53.15) both getting wins. SU also doubled-up the 200 Freestyle Relay with the women's team (1:37.37) of Amanda Miller, Sammy Mosier, Mia David, and Aubrey Cheng and the men's team (1:24.10) of Cole Lanting, Michael Luna, Hawkins Wendt, and Nicholas Imig both secure victories.
Lanting added to his standout day by also placing first in the 100 Yard Freestyle (45.72). Other race winners were; Brendan Ryan (100 Breast, 56.33), Danielis Kvederis (200 Back, 1:50.94), and Jaxon Gonzales (200 Breast, 2:02.85).
FULL MEET RESULTS
"To take the number of wins we did against such high level competition gives me enormous confidence in what we are doing to keep getting better incrementally," Dykstra added. "I'm very grateful to UBC for coming down and giving us this level of challenge and congratulate them on the many pool records they set today. The future of Seattle U Swimming is bright when we can confidently compete with a squad of that level"
Next up for both teams will be a trip to Colorado on Friday, Jan. 26, when they compete in the two-day Air Force/Denver Spring Meet. That will be followed by the WAC Championships starting Feb. 28, in Pharr, Texas.
