Athenas Improve To 4-0 In SCIAC

The CMS Athena swim and dive team moved to 4-0 in SCIAC after a pair of early January victories.  The Athenas topped the University of La Verne 170-53 on January 16 in La Verne and beat Whittier 191-51 on January 9 in Claremont.

Junior Annie Perizzolo posted a CMS Axelrood pool record in the 100 yard breaststroke vs Whittier, clocking in a 1:05.99, also an NCAA B-cut.  The previous pool record had been held since November 2000 by UC-San Diego's Lindasy Meeks.  Sophomore Emma Jones provided another highlight, earning a spot on CMS's All Time Top 10 list with a 10:53.54 in the 1000 yard freestyle.  Olivia Graham, Elsa Cheng and Jenni Rinker were triple winners for the Athenas and Carmen Lundell won both diving events
