Big Cats Dominate in Texas

The Colorado College swimming and diving teams dominated a double-dual meet with Austin College and McMurry University Friday night in Sherman, Texas.
 
The Tiger men defeated SCAC foe Austin, 213-78, and McMurry, 233-46, while the women downed Austin, 213-67 and McMurry 235-34.
 
CC rolled from the start as both teams captured the 400-yard medley relay to open the meet. The foursome of Jio Chang, Dervla Moore-Frederick, Kate Brush and Selma Jukic captured the women's race in a time of 4:19.46.
 
Chang and Brush were outstanding individually as well, with each winning three races. Chang grabbed first place in the 100- and 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly, while Brush won the 200 butterfly, 500 freestyle and 400 IM.
 
Peyton Classon won the diving competition, which consisted of 11 dives off the 1-meter board, while Riley Wadehra and Jennifer Middleton joined Classon with NCAA regional qualifying scores.
 
Other individual winners included Moore-Frederick (200 breaststroke), Jukic (100 backstroke), Clara Sato (50 freestyle) and Maddie Amick (100 breaststroke). The Tigers captured the final race of the meet as Kerren Matthews, Alma Jukic, Peyton Wright and Maddie Heynen won the 400 freestyle relay.
 
On the men's side, twins Cade and Cole Thumann each won three individual races and a relay. Cade touched first in the 200- and 500 freestyle and 200 butterfly along with the 400 freestyle relay with Michael Wright, Reese Gawronski and Topher Shepherd.
 
Meanwhile, Cole won the 100- and 200 breaststroke and 400 IM, along with the 400 medley relay with Julian Frerichs, Eric Dallesasse and Walker Martin. Frerichs also captured a pair of individual races, the 100- and 200 backstroke events, while Martin and Shepherd won the 100 and 1000 freestyle races, respectively.
 
Mac O'Brien and Keelan Woodard finished first and second in the diving event.
 
"It was fun to swim at sea level tonight," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "We could really feel the difference and experienced big time drops in longer events like the 200 fly, 400 IM and 1000 free.  We were challenged quite a bit in the first two events (the medley relays and the 1000 free), but then we really took control starting with the 200 free and forward."
 
Both teams will compete at the Phoenix Fall Classic in Chicago next weekend, Nov. 22-24.
