QUOTABLE-
"A nice win today for both programs. We swam well, not as sharply as we'll need to later in the season.
The women were a little sluggish after last night's hard meet, but still swam well and that was good enough for the win. Carissa Armijo was very poised today in her racing, and Kate and Eva and Julia sprinted well all weekend.
Our men swamped them in the distance events, led by freshman Cam Castro. Richard Szilagyi has really come alive, leading the sprints all weekend.
Hats off to Bakersfield medley relays, they are really stacked this year."
- HEAD COACH BEN LOORZ
