SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nevada Swimming and Diving wrapped up a perfect weekend on Saturday, defeating San José State 61-48 in a relay-only meet at the Spartan Recreation and Aquatic Center. The Wolf Pack won nine of the ten events improving to 2-0 on the weekend after opening the season with a victory over UC Davis on Friday.

The team of Scarlett Ferris, Sally Vagg, and Caitlin Wham won the 3×50-yard fly relay in 1:15.87, while Molly Von Seggern, Ana Schulz, and Ferris followed with a first-place finish in the 3×50-yard back relay with a time of 1:16.58.

The Wolf Pack continued its dominance in the 3×50-yard breast relay as Tamsyn Walo, Sara Mihalic, and Sienna Walo touched first in 1:27.61. Nevada’s “A” team of Moji Pholjamjumrus, Ava Swigart, Calyn Lothian, and Keira-Lee Allott then captured the 800-yard free relay in 7:32.60, setting a new pool record.

After San José State earned victories in the 400-yard medley relay, Nevada responded with wins in the final events. Molly Von Seggern, Evie Floate, S. Walo, and Mihalic claimed the 500-yard frees relay in 4:30.20 before the trio of Pholjamjurnus, Lothian, and Swigart won the 3×300-yard freestyle relay in 8:59.22. Nevada took the win when S.
