Washington State swim team broke two school relay records on the first day of the Pac-12 Championships at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash. 

The Cougars swam the fastest in school history in the 200 medley relay and the 800 freestyle relay, the two events they participated in.

"The Cougs swam well today," WSU Head Coach Tom Jager said. "It was a good start to the Pac-12 Championships and we look forward to racing and carrying this momentum into the rest of the week."

In the 800 freestyle relay, the team of junior Addisynn Bursch, junior Elise Locke, sophomore Rachel Thompson, and freshman Jasmine Margetts clocked the record setting time of 7:18.03, surpassing the previous record by over two seconds. This time placed the Cougars eighth in the event, tallying 44 points for the team.

WSU broke their second school record of the day in the 200 medley relay when they touched the wall at 1:39.13. The squad of junior Haley Rose Love, senior Frederikke Hall, sophomore Anna Brolin, and sophomore Hannah Bruggman finished sixth, picking up 48 points for the Cougars. 

UCLA leads the competition after day one; WSU is in eighth place with 92 points.

The team will return to the pool tomorrow to continue the Pac-12 Championships with the 500 freestyle, 200 IM, 50 freestyle, and the 200 freestyle relay.
