Biola freshman Patrick Waggoner outsplit him by over 2 seconds on the final 50 to close the gap, but came up just short as Der won it 1:54.01 to 1:54.17. Fresno Pacific made it 2 event wins in a row as Iskender Baslakov won the 50 free in 20.27.
On the women’s side, Biola freshman Kellynn Hayes made a 5-second drop to win the 500 free in 4:58.83, while East Bay freshman Leah Robinson (4:59.11) and East Bay’s Serene Augustain (4:59.19) finished closely behind. Fresno Pacific’s Olga Tovstogan was just over a second shy of the Meet Record with a 2:02.75 to dominate the 200 IM. Fresno Pacific won the next event as well, with Arianna Kooijinga coming up 3 tenths short of the Meet Record to win the 50 free in 23.28.
