LOS ANGELES - The Oregon State Swimming team wrapped up the weekend by defeating Cal State-Northridge 86-9, and falling to USC 32-63. The Beavers (3-3, 0-3 Pacific-10 Conference) once again received a very strong team performance. OSU began the weekend Friday by defeating UC Santa Barbara (0-2) 144-118 and falling to UCLA (1-1, 1-0 Pacific-10 Conference) 117-140.
Saturday, Saori Haruguchi won both the 100 backstroke (56.42) and the 400 Individual Medley (4:23.16). The four dual meet wins now gives Haruguchi 29 for her career. The 29 dual meet wins places her in 10th place on OSU's career dual meet wins list.
Felicia Castaneda, Sandy Hong, Julie McCauley, Erika Wirth, and Kayla Rawlings all picked up dual meet wins as well. Rawlings won the 100 fly (56.56) for the first time this season.
In what has been a strong debut through the first two weeks of competition, both Brittney Iverson and Anna Crandall continued their strong freshmen campaigns. Crandall picked up her second dual meet win of the season in the 100 free. She now has three dual meet wins in her young career. Brittney Iverson raced very well in the 500 free (5:04.32) and picked up her second win of the season in the event.
The Beavers also received an added boost in the 400 free relay as the team of Crandall, Rawlings, Iverson and Wirth picked up the win. Ending the day with a team win in a relay was a fitting ending for the Beavers, who had eight different swimmers win dual meets.
