UC Davis Flies By Redhawks For Swimming Wins

Oct. 27, 2002

DAVIS, Calif. - Matt Davie and Kevin Williams each captured a pair of swimming victories to lead the Aggie men against Seattle University on Sunday, while freshmen Yuka Kobayashi and Rachelle Compton each won two races for the women, as UC Davis swept a pair of dual meets against the Redhawks at Hickey Pool.

UC Davis was victorious on the men's side, scoring 129.95 points to Seattle's 75.5, while also winning the women's dual, 125-80. Both Aggie teams improved to 3-0 in duals with the victories. Jonathan Bartsch (200-yard individual medley) and Joseph Laughlin (100 butterfly) won events for Seattle's men, while Merceda Rivera won the 50 free and 100 butterfly for the women.

The Aggie men highlighted their day by winning nine of the 11 races contested, including both relays, while also achieving three qualifying times for the 2003 NCAA Division II Championships. UC Davis won eight of 11 races during the women's competition, earning five "B" marks to go with Kobayashi's "A" time of 1:53.70 in the 200 freestyle.

"I was pleased with the way we came back and swam fast," said UC Davis women's coach Barbara Jahn, whose team also competed at the Pacific Invitational on Friday and Saturday. "That's a good sign that we can be strong on that third day of the conference meet, which is always the hardest.
"People stepped up today and won the events they needed to win."

Compton won both distance freestyle events against the Redhawks, winning the 1,000 freestyle in a nationals-qualifying mark of 10 min, 40.73 seconds before coming back later to win the 500 free in 5:16.98. Kobayashi had a "B" time in the 100 free in 53.06 a little while after earning an automatic qualifying time of 1:53.70 in the 200 free. Her time in the latter event was well under the "A" standard of 1:54.59.

Also beating provisional standards for the women were Debbie Seiler in the 100 butterfly (2nd, 59.92), Zahra Shahalayi in the 100 breaststroke (1st, 1:08.41) and Vanessa Sallee in the 200 individual medley (1st, 2:09.66), who lowered her time in the event after already posting a "B" mark earlier in the weekend.

Elizabeth Glick posted the remaining individual win for the Aggies, finishing first in the 100 backstroke in 1:00.92..

Like Compton, Davie also swept distance events on Sunday, winning the 500 free and 1,000 free for the UC Davis men's team. Davie posted a qualifying mark in the longer in the 1,000, winning in 9:29.41 before finishing his individual racing with a win in the 500 free in 4:35.13, touching the pad seven seconds in front of second-place Sean Seaver of Seattle, who also had a "B" time.

Williams also won a pair of freestyle races against the Redhawks, opening his individual swims with a time of 1:44.57 in the 200 free and then finishing first in the 100 free later in 47.56. Davie and Williams accounted for four of the seven individual victories for the Aggies, who also received wins from Travis Low in the 50 free (21.80), Cameron Poya in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.74) and from Kyle Wooldridge in the 100 backstroke, whose time of 52.18 was under the provisional standard of 1:00.55.

UC Davis also won the 200 medley (1:36.04) and 200 free relays (1:25.83).

Seattle had three other "B" times on the men's side from Bartsch (200 IM, 1:56.82), Laughlin (100 fly, 51.88), Cori Bemis (100 back, 53.33). Rivera had a provisional mark in the 100 fly (59.38) while Megan Ackerman had one in the 1,000 free (10:44.71).
