Despite four individual victories, the Colorado College women's swimming and diving team lost, 159-81, to Division II Colorado School of Mines Friday in Golden, Colo.
Â
"We showed up today ready to compete at a high level and our athletes delivered," head coach
Jen Buffin said. "We posted season and lifetime bests, helping us secure our strongest finish against Mines in recent history. The atmosphere on deck was electric, and our athletes rose to the moment with some incredible performances."
Â
Keller Pooley won both diving events, winning the 1-meter with 243.30 points and the 3-meter with 241.28 points.
Hazel Ryden finished second in the 1-meter with 143.70 points.
Â
Megan Simonson touched first in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.75 seconds, while
Annie Engstrom won the 500 freestyle in 5:13.37 and finished second in the 100 freestyle.
Â
Julia Cox placed second in the 200 freestyle and
Livi Woolery was runner-up to Simonson in the 50 freestyle. Simonson, Cox and Woolery joined
Sarah Buchman on the second-place 200 freestyle relay.
Â
"Megan and Livi going 1-2 in the 50 free and Annie claiming the 500 free and runner-up in the 1000 were outstanding results," Buffin said. "
Julia Cox earned a strong second-place result in the 200 free, and
Isabella Cole put up a second-place finish including a season best in the 100 breaststroke, her fastest time since joining CC.
Â
"Our divers were equally impressive. Keller opened her season with victories on both boards and
Hazel Ryden made her collegiate debut with a lifetime best on 1M."

The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Nov. 1, against Adams State in Alamosa, Colo.
