TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil women's swimming and diving dropped a close one today, taking an early lead but ultimately falling to UCLA, 156-142, on Saturday afternoon at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center.
THE DETAILS
Cierra Runge opened the meet on a high note, anchoring down the ASU relay to take a close win in the 400-yard medley relay by just two-hundredths of a second. Emma Nordin followed with a win in the 1000 free for her third win in the event in as many meets. At the first break, the Sun Devils led over the Bruins, 76-73.
ASU as a team took home seven victories on the afternoon, headlined by Nordin (1000 free & 500 free) and Runge's (100 free & 200 free) two-win performances. Other ASU wins came from Camryn Curry (50 free) who has dominated the 50 free – taking three wins in three meets – and team wins in both relays.
Frida Kaellgren shined in the diving well, notching her first zone qualifying score in the one-meter springboard. Kaellgren placed second in both board events, with her score of 266.10 in the one meter qualifying her to compete in the Zone E Championships at the end of the season. The Swede performed well enough in 2018 to earn a last-minute qualification to the NCAA National Championship in Austin, with 2018 marking her second NCAA berth in her two seasons as a Sun Devil.
