In the final dual meet of the regular season, the Oregon State Beavers hosted the Boise State Broncos for a two-day dual meet format. While senior Sammy Harrison had an individual event win and a strong showing overall, the Beavers ultimately dropped the meet by a score of 150-104.
The meet began with a second place finish from the Oregon State team of Amani Amr, Czarina Isleta, Andrea Young, and Claire McLaggin who touched the wall with a 1:48.60 in the 200 medley relay. Sammy Harrison kept the Beavers on track with a win in the 1000 free–her 10:18.25 was about nine seconds ahead of second place finisher Amelia Draney, a sophomore from Boise State. The senior Constance Toulemonde was the highest finisher from Oregon State in the 200 free; her 1:55.95 was good enough for fourth.
The Beavers picked up a couple of second place finishes with the junior Isleta’s 100 breast (1:05.39) and freshman Megan Lam‘s 200 fly (2:10.92). Boise State swept the 50 free and 200 back, while the junior Andrea Young was the fastest woman from Oregon State in the 100 free, nabbing third with a 54.10.
Isleta grabbed another top-three spot in the 200 breast with a third place finish (2:22.73), while Harrison was second in the 500 with a time of 5:06.16, but the Beavers couldn’t keep the momentum going and finished the meet behind Boise State.
