The Rams swim team had a strong showing at the San Francisco Invitational on Friday, Feb. 6 and Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Wellness Center pool.
At the meet on Friday, sophomore Brisa Serrano Diaz said, “I think [the meet is] going pretty [well]. There’s a lot of people here, a lot of energy, good swimmers, so it’s good to sit down and watch other people swim and learn from them.” Sarah Tanabe added, “We did the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle. It went [well]. We dropped time in our 200 medley relay.” The 200 medley team swam a time of 2:30.90.
