SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Thanks to a great meet from the dive team, the Waves end the first of two days in a double-dual meet on Friday with San Diego and Loyola Marymount with a tie with LMU and a narrow loss to USD.
Â
MEET RECAP
The day got off to a great start after Taylor Basin took first place in the one-meter dive. She scored 240.52 points, 29.47 points ahead of the next closest competitor. Basin also shined second one-meter competition of the day, scoring 167.17 points, besting fellow Wave Ali North by 17 points to take the victory.
Â
"Our divers had a great meet," said Head Coach Joe Spahn. "Taylor Basin won both boards. Ali North had a good first event, and made some adjustments to end up second in the second event. Paulina (Holmberg) is improving rapidly as she continues her transition from the trampoline to the diving boards."
Â
Two Waves broke lifetime bests on Friday. Sammie Slater took third place in the 200 free, breaking her record with a 1:57.06. Olivia Kayye also recorded a lifetime best in the 400 I'm, taking fourth place with a time of 4:47.96. Anna Riekhof took a first place in the 200 breast stroke, with a 2:24.24.

UP NEXT
The Waves will finish the meet on Saturday, with events starting at 10 a.m.
