Graduating swimmers shone on Seniors Day at the Simon Fraser University Savage Pool.
SFU senior women won six individual races and final-year men also stole the show in a dual meet victory over visiting Seattle University at the Margaret and Paul Savage Pool on Saturday.
Nicole Cossey won a pair of freestyle sprints and was part of two winning Clan women's relay teams, while Carmen Nam won the longer free events in the 151-111 victory over the visiting NCAA Division I program.
Cossey posted a 1.3 second win in the 50-metre free sprint and then also won at the 100m distance by two seconds. She also swam the final leg on the Clan A team in the 400m medley relay and helped SFU to a come-from-behind win in the free relay.
Nam won both the 400 and 800m free events easily, including a three-second win in the shorter race.
Grace Ni, another Clan senior, won the 100m backstroke, while Alexandria Schofield won the 100m butterfly and swam the third leg in both winning relays. Sophomore Lauren Swistak won the 200m fly.
SFU women also won the 200m free and 400m medley relays.
On the men's side, seniors Dimitar Ivanov and Hans Heyer helped SFU defeat Seattle 162-98 in the dual meet.
Ivanov scraped out a victory in the 100and 200m back. Heyer swam the opening leg of SFU's winning 400m medley relay. He also anchored the men's 200m free relay.
Not to be outdone, freshman phenom Adrian VanderHelm placed first in three individual races, winning the 100 and 200m free, and 200m individual medley.
First-year Tim Woinoski also earned a pair of victories, placing first in the men's 400 and 800m free events.
SFU will travel to Vancouver Island next week for meet at the University of Victoria.
The Clan will then host Japan's University of Tokei in a two-day meet at SFU on Feb. 20 and 21.
