SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's swimming and diving team had its first dual at Division I UC San Diego on Friday afternoon to open up its 2026-27 season.
The Tritons were able to come away with the dual win by the final score of 208.5-53.5, although CMS had some first-year swimmers break into the top 10 in CMS history in their debuts.
Aika Swanson had a second-place finish in the 200 free in her first collegiate race, touching the wall in 1:52.75, which puts her in tenth place in CMS history. She also tied for second in the 100 free in 52.15, which is just a tenth of a second away from breaking into the Athena all-time top 10.
Karen Prawira moved into the top 10 all-time at CMS in the 200 IM in her collegiate debut, finishing in 2:06.23, which places ninth, and also earned her third at the meet.
