MALIBU, Calif. –The Pepperdine women's swim and dive team honored its nine seniors on Saturday with the final home meet of the year against Air Force and Cal Bapist.
"It was a great day in Malibu to honor our 9 seniors," said head coach Joe Spahn. "I am very proud of this group of seniors as they embraced my changes. Their leadership has been a huge part of this team's huge improvements this year. They will be missed"
"As a team we swam very well. We focused on executing our race strategies one more time before conference. Caroline Boone had a very strong 50 free and 100 free. Amy Griffin continues to be a leader of our very strong 100 freestyles. Megan Minor and Cassie Anderson were able to put up season bests in their 200 back today. They executed their race perfectly. I'm very happy with where we are leading up to conference."
SENIORS
The Waves had nine seniors honored on Saturday: Lauren Allard, Caroline Boone, Heather Brown, Juju Chan, Sam Marlott, Ali North, Ryane Skinner, Julia Sneden and Lexie Wanninger.
