CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State Swim Team fell to No. 21 Arizona by a final tally of 152-103.
The Beavers started off the meet with a very strong 400 medley relay with the A Relay (Felicia Anderson, Cali Rowland, Paige Maynard, and Katherine Schneider) finishing in second place only three seconds short of the lead. The B Relay (Brooke Hofmann, Fernanda Rodriguez, Arianna Letrari, and Amanda Hoejberg) finished the race right behind them in third.
"There was a better focus over these last two weeks heading into this meet," Beaver Head Coach Jennifer Buffin said. "We really homed in on what we needed to do to compete in every single race and I think that showed in a lot of our races. Against a Pac-12 teams this is one of our best performances in the last couple of years."
The Beavers also got big individual performances from a pair of freshmen in Chloe Bowman and Lindsay Swail. Bowman finished third in the 1000 free and followed it up with a second-place finish in the 500 free. Swail finished with third place performances in the 100 and 200 backstroke.
"I thought we came into this meet much better prepared," said Buffin. "We've learned a lot about ourselves since our matchup with Arizona State. With such a young team it's a lot of learning that is going on during these early meets."
The Beavers are back in action on Friday, November 16th in a home tri-meet with Seattle U and Southwestern Oregon Community College.
