Women’s 3-meter diving champion
Izzy Doud and another pair of divers staked Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges to an early lead after Day One of the 2025 SCIAC Women’s Swimming & Diving Championship.
Day One Results
The Athenas totaled 147 points atop the standings on Day One, followed by Caltech in second with 106, Chapman University at 103 and Pomona-Pitzer in fourth on 102 points. California Lutheran University ranked fifth with 97 points while Occidental College was sixth (83), Whittier College seventh (53), University of Redlands (48) and University of La Verne (36).
Doud overcame a failed dive to still take back the title after winning in 2023 before studying abroad last spring while the 200 Medley Relay team of
Annika Sharma,
Milan Manfredi,
Mackenzie Mayfield and
Madeleine Kan claimed a title by just .15 in 1:42.21. Doud’s 430.85 edged out 2024 champion
Jana Woo from Caltech by a mere 2.0 points, while another Beaver in
Ava Balanon made the podium in third place. Doud bounced back from the failed dive to reclaim the lead on the very next dive with a high score of 51.60 coming on a forward 2 ½ somersault, 2 ½ twist. Woo was the only other competitor to record an individual dive score over 50.0 which came with the title still in sight on the penultimate attempt, a back 1 ½ somersault 1 ½ twist. Pomona-Pitzer and Chapman University took second and third in the 200 Medley Relay while
Charlotte Dixon,
Karolina Dzieciol,
Nina Aballea and
Valerie Mello defended their 800 Free Relay title by almost nine seconds. CMS took second in the 800 Free Relay and Occidental held on for third after a strong opening split from
Sarah Radle that had the Tigers in the lead after the first 100 yards.
Thursday’s slate includes the 500 Free, 200 IM and 50 Free in the morning preliminaries, followed by the women’s 1-meter competition and the 200 Free Relay to close out the evening finals.
