Monterey Park, Calif. - UC Davis opened the 2020 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships with season-bests in the 200 Medley and 800 Free Relays and sit in sixth in the team competition following Wednesday night's events at East Los Angeles College.

UC Davis also swam a 'B' team in the proceeding exhibition heat of the 200 Medley Relay that finished in 1:45.64. 

Beating the previous team-best 800 Free Relay by 4.54 seconds, Wednesday night's 'A' team time of 7:24.41 was good for fifth place. 

In Wednesday night's non-finals action, Ashleen O'Brien swam a season-best 52.90 in the 100 Free time trial and Sophia Sebastian swam a season-best 57.07 in the 100 Fly time trial.
