Spartan swim has been quite busy in the new year as it competed in two meets in San Diego this past weekend.
San Jose State got its second head-to-head meet victory of the season against UC San Diego.
The 94-33 win was a nice refresher as the team did not perform well the day before in the pentathlon hosted by San Diego State.
The five-event meet on Friday was a struggle for the Spartans. The top finisher from San Jose State was senior Kate Hanf, who finish seventh.
Sophomore Chloe Limargo was the only other Spartan to make the top-10. SDSU completely dominated the pentathlon taking the top six placings.
Other competitors in Friday’s meet consisted of Air Force, Incarnate Word and University of San Diego.
It was a completely different story on Saturday as the Spartans racked up 12 first place finishers.
The 200-yard event was by far the strongest for SJSU as it took the top four placings.
Hanf managed to get two first-place finishes. UCSD did not stand a chance as it was only able to come out on top in five events, all of which were followed by a Spartan who was less than a second behind.
The one-day meet is a big confidence booster as SJSU has a little less than two weeks before it takes on UC Davis on Jan. 17.
The two Spartan divers will be competing in the Bruin Invitational that same weekend at UCLA.
