The Bronco 200-yard medley relay team stunned California to set the pool and meet record that the Golden Bears set last year. Boise State finished in 1:43.15, topping Cal's 1:45.97.
Felicity Cann captured the 500-yard freestyle in 4:56.52, with teammate Taylor Padington taking second (4:59.50. Junior Jessical Bottelberghe led a Bronco sweep in the 200 IM, with Sydney Johansen taking second and freshman Whitney Jorgensen touching for third place.
"Going 1-2-3 in the 200 IM was fun for the team," said head coach Kristin Hill. "And all of our 200 IM swimmers set new individual dual meet records. Ciera Cortney's score was even higher than last week and was the second highest all time score for a Bronco. Brittany Aoyama'slead off time in the 800 freestyle relay was very strong. We had some fast 50 freestyles and most were faster than last weekend which is a great sign considering the heavy training we put in this week, as well as a big travel day yesterday. This is a very strong, resilient team that loves to race and that showed today."
Ayoma won the 50-yard freestyle in 23.61. The Invitational continues with action today in Fresno.
