LOS ANGELES, Calif. -
Izzy Doud won the one-meter dive for her second SCIAC Championship in as many days, and
Katy Shaw (500 free) and
Mackenzie Mayfield (200 IM) added individual wins, as the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's swimming and diving team maintained its lead after the second of four days at the SCIAC Championships, held at East Los Angeles College Swim Stadium.
Doud, who won the three-meter dive yesterday by just two points over Jana Woo of Caltech, earned her second championship by taking the one-meter on Thursday with 406.55 points.
Meilan Uyeno was second with 393.45 points, and
Alexis Romero was third with 378.45 points, as the Athenas swept the podium. Josephine Kearns actually was the second-highest scorer with 404.45 points, but was an exhibition diver and didn't factor into the CMS team score.
CMS also went 1-2 in the first swimming event of the day, with
Allison Nguyen coming in second behind Shaw, who repeated as the league 500 free champion by finishing in 4:58.89. Nguyen just edged out Abby Raclaw of Pomona-Pitzer for second place by .11 seconds, finishing in 5:03.69 to Raclaw's 5:03.80.
Avalon Sanders also came in fourth for CMS in a time of 5:04.70, while
Corley Smith qualified for the finals and came in sixth.
Mayfield won a dramatic race to the wall in the 200 IM, taking first place by just two-hundredths of a second over Emmi Appl of Pomona-Pitzer (2:03.57 to 2:03.59). The time moves her into second place in CMS history behind only former national 400 IM champion Augusta Lewis, just two-hundredths of a second ahead of Jameson Mitchum.
Sun Young Byun (sixth) and
Kelly Prawira (eighth) also qualified for the finals.
Madeleine Kan made the finals of the 50 free and came in fourth place in 23.49, which moves her into a tie for third in CMS history.
Ally Rudolph also qualified for the finals and finished eighth. CMS closed out with a second-place finish in the 200 free relay, with Mayfield,
Annika Sharma, Rudolph and Kan finishing in 1:34.85.
The Athenas will get underway with prelims tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. as they will look to maintain their lead heading into Saturday's final day of competition.
