Diving Wins Highlight Opening Day for CMS Women's Swim and Dive

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Sophomore Izzy Doud, a returning honorable mention All-American, won the three-meter dive by just .37 (235.95 to 235.58) and Makenna Parkinson edged Doud by just .53 in the one-meter (201.98 to 201.45) to highlight the opening day performance of the CMS women's swimming and diving team at Division I UC San Diego on Saturday.

Doud barely edged out Isabella Perez of UC San Diego to take first in the three-meter, with Parkinson finishing third. The one-meter battle was just as close between the two Athenas, but Parkinson was able to edge out Doud by a half-point, with Perez in third. 

In the swimming events, Jameson Mitchum was third in the 200 back with a 2:11.11, and Mackenzie Mayfield was third in the 100 breast in 1:05.98. Ally Rudolph was just .05 out of fourth in the 50 free with a 25.08, while Annika Sharma had a 54.08 in the 100 free to come in a close fourth. Lexi Lee added a fourth place finish in the 200 breast in 2:36.93. 

Quinn Katayama-Stall, Mayfield, Sharma and Rudolph were part of a third-place finish in the 200 medley relay to open the meet, touching the wall in 1:49.48. Mayfield, Sharma, Rudolph and Lexi Punishill swam the 200 free relay and came in just under the 1:40 mark, finishing in 1:39.99.

CMS will be back in action in two weeks when it has its SCIAC opener at Occidental on Nov. 5.
