HONOLULU - Senior Heather DeFelice took first place in two events on Friday as the San Deigo State swim team split a double-dual meet, defeating Hawai'i 152-138 and losing to UNLV 176-117 at The Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex on the Hawai'i campus. SDSU has won four of its last five dual matchups and posts a 7-3 dual mark this season.
DeFelice took top honors in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:21.40) and in the 200 individual medley (2:08.70). Both those times are season bests.
The Aztecs set three more season bests in the outing. Sophomore Megan Storey was responsible for two, one was her second-place time of 10:17.31 in the 1,000 freestyle and the other a second-place time of 2:08.16 in the 200 butterfly. Sophomore Jennifer Graham set the team's other season best, clocking in with a first-place time of 58.47 in the 100 fly. Graham and DeFelice were the only Aztecs to win an event on the day.
Storey also came in second in the 500 free (5:04.03) and DeFelice earned the third-place spot in the 50 free (24.58). Graham swam to a third-place finish in the 100 breast (1:07.27).
Senior Meghan Casillan and sophomore Aletta Haff teamed up to take second and third place, respectively, in both the 100 and 200 backstroke. In the 100 back, Casillan clocked in at 1:00.18 and Haff at 1:00.91. In the 200 back, Casillan had a time of 2:08.68 and Haff swam to a time of 2:11.27. Casillan also finished third in the 200 individual medley (2:14.43).
Junior Erin Kilpatrick swam to a time of 54.41 in the 100 free, good for third place.
The Aztecs continue their dual-meet schedule on Jan. 25 in Los Angeles when they face Loyola Marymount and Cal Poly. A day later the team concludes its regular-season slate when it meets up with Pepperdine.
