Seniors Shine on Day One Against Simon Fraser, Cal State East Bay

STOCKTON, Calif. – On a day highlighted by the graduating senior class, the Pacific men's and women's swim and dive program showcased a strong display after the first day against Simon Fraser and Cal State East Bay on Saturday from the Eberhardt Aquatics Center.

The Tigers picked up a pair of wins over the Red Leafs with the men winning 190-67 and the women securing a 182-79 victory. The Pioneers edged the Tigers on the women's side by a 134-128 margin.

During the first break of competition on Saturday, Pacific honored its senior class, recognizing Katie Honey, Diana Chan, Annelise Thomas, Lilliana Noriega, Ethan Cole, Matt Honeck, Mattia Giurgevich and Maria Jose for their hard work and dedication to the program.

"It was a really special day," Pacific head coach Katelyne Herrington said. "They've left such a legacy and such an impact for the team. Our guys and girls dominated against Simon Fraser. I felt like today we were able to see our seniors have some memorable races."

As a whole, the Tigers notched 17 first place finishes over the Red Leafs and Pioneers. Leading the charge on the women's side was sophomore Christina Agiomamitou, who earned first place in the 100 yard free (51.13), 200 yard free (1:48.32) and 500 yard free (4:55.36). Agiomamitou also spearheaded the first-place Tigers in the 400 yard freestyle relay where the A team collected a time of 3:28.79.

On the men's side, freshman Raphael Vanhecke stood out as a highlight, recording first-place nods in the 100 yard free (45.94), 200 yard free (1:39.74) and 200 yard IM (1:50.98). Furthermore, Vanhecke represented a key cog in the 200 yard medley relay where the men's A relay team clocked in a time of 1:30.47.

A highlight for the senior class, Honeck was first to finish in the men's 100 yard butterfly with a time of 50.06.

Pacific will return to action tomorrow with day two of the meet against Cal State East Bay and Simon Fraser. The scheduled events will begin at 11 a.m. and can be viewed on Overnght.
