FRESNO, Calf. - The San José State swimming and diving team defeated Mountain West members Fresno State and Air Force to take home the top spot in the two-day Bulldog Invitational.
"We are very happy with both the approach the team took into this meet and how they performed. It was a complete effort today," said head coach Sage Hopkins.
"Last night in a team meeting I challenged the swimmers and divers to win the meet by 300 points, and we achieved that goal; winning by 320 points. We had many highlights today, perhaps most notable being freshman Brenna [Bushey] winning two events and setting a new meet and pool record in the 100 fly," said Hopkins.
Freshman Brenna Bushey continued her stellar swimming with three first-place finishes in the 100 fly, 100 back and 100 free. The Littleton, Colo. native set the pool and meet record in the 100 fly with a time 54.78.
San José State also got strong showings from junior Riley Spitser, as she led the pack in the 200 free with a time of 1:52.72. Morgan McCormick also earned a top finish in the 200 back touching the wall in 2:04.79.
The Spartans team of Michaela McLean, Christina Bruni, Brynne Beneke, and Taylor Solorio bested the field with a time of 1:36.46 in the 200 free relay. SJSU also took first in the 400 medley with a time of 3:53.25 from Morgan McCormich, Dominique Yoder, Beneke, and McLean.
San José State will return to the pool on Friday, October 17 in a head to head matchup with UC Davis in Davis, Calif. Start time is set for 3:00 p.m. PT.
