CC captured three individual titles and won the 200 medley relay on Sunday. Sophomore Jio Chang won the 200 butterfly, while freshman India Phillips and senior Mary Rose Donahue finished first in the 1650 freestyle and 3-meter diving, respectively. Donahue posted a score of 413.55 points, followed by sophomore Riley Wadehra (395 points) and freshmen Alexia Preston (352.45), Lani Flagg (328.55) and Jen Middleton (307.70) to sweep the top five places.
 
Meanwhile, sophomore Sarah Dunbar, freshman Emily Erickson and seniors Ellen Silk and Justina Zuckerman won the 200 medley relay race in a time of 1:55.43.
 
In addition to Wadehra, the Tigers posted six individual second-place results on Sunday as well, including Silk (200 butterfly), Zuckerman (100 freestyle), Chang (200 freestyle), senior Emily Harrison (1650 freestyle), sophomore Selma Jukic (400 IM) and freshman Emileigh Rafidi (200 breaststroke).
 
On the men's side, the Tigers finished fourth with 398 points, behind meet winner Colorado School of Mines (810), Colorado Mesa (658) the University of Colorado (406).
 
Leading the way for the Big Cats on Sunday was sophomore Eric Dallesasse, who won the 200 butterfly and led off the 200 medley relay team that finished second. Senior Trey Watmore (400 IM), junior Ethan Schick (200 butterfly) and freshman Walker Martin (200 freestyle) each posted a third-place finish on Sunday, while Schick, Martin and freshman Baker Casagrande joined Dallesasse on the 200 medley relay.
 
Colorado College also finished second in the 400 freestyle relay with the foursome of Martin, Schick, Casagrande and sophomore Michael Wright.
 
"We look at the CC Classic meet as a true test of grit," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "We compete in all of the events that we do at our four-day conference championships, but we do it over just two days and I feel like we passed the test."
 
The Tigers return to action at the SCAC Championship Meet in Southlake, Texas, Feb. 14-17.
