September 28, 2017 | Swimming
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Washington State swimming team opened the 2017-18 season with a 168.5-125.5 road victory over Cal Poly Thursday. Junior Jasmine Margetts led the Cougars with three individual wins while senior Hannah Bruggman had two individual wins and two relays wins.
"This was a good meet to start with, Cal Poly is a tough team, we needed to swim well and we did," head coach Tom Jager said. "We had great swims from our youngsters and our veterans. Anna Brolin was great in the 100, Jasmine continues the momentum she had last year with three wins tonight, she's a tough kid. We had some freshmen step to contribute led by Emily Cook who crushed it, it was a good start to the season!"
Margetts took first in the 200 free with a time of 1:52.50, a tenth second faster than the second place finisher before dominating the 400 IM, beating the field by nearly 10 seconds for a 4:20.69, the sixth-fastest time in WSU history. Margetts' final individual win came in the 200 fly, where she clocked in at 2:02.20, sixth-fastest time in WSU history.
Bruggman found herself in four first place finishes at the end of the meet. Bruggman was a member of both winning relay teams. Alongside teammates Emily Cook, Linnea Lindberg, and Anna Brolin, the Cougars were able to clock a 1:43.30 in the 200 Free Relay. Bruggman, Rachel Thompson, Ciera Kelly and Cook were also members of the 400 Free Relay team that took first with a time of 3:31.62. Bruggman's individual wins came in the 100 free with a time of 51.41 and the 50 free with a time of 23.94. Senior Anna Brolin also claimed the 100 fly.
A pair of freshmen recorded wins as Sam Howell won the 1000 Free and Emily Cook won the 100 back (the 8th-fastest time in WSU history - 55.90) and 200 back. Freshman Taylor McCoy, a Pullman, Wash. native, finished third in the 100 back, third in the 200 back and third in the 400 medley.
The Cougars are back in the pool Friday, Sept. 29 as they travel to Santa Barbara, Calif. to take on UC Santa Barbara.
