COLLEGE SWIMMING
The UCSB men’s swim team won the 220-yard freestyle relay, the 500-yard freestyle and the 200 individual medley on Thursday during the second day of the four-day Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championships. The Gaucho women’s team, despite not winning an events, picked up four top-5 finishes.
Both UCSB teams entered the day tied for first with Hawaii, but took big hits in the standings due to the lack of diving teams. The men sit in third place, 63 points behind the Rainbow Warriors while the women are in second place, 37 points behind first-place Hawaii.
