Bulldog records lead to win over Fresno Pacific and Cal State East Bay
10/24/2025 10:17:00 PM | Swimming & Diving
FRESNO, Calif.- The Fresno State swimming team swept Fresno Pacific and Cal State East Bay in a tri-meet on Friday night at the Fresno State Aquatic Center. The night was topped off by a new program and Aquatic Center record in the 200 medley relay and new NCAA qualifiers with breaststroker's Aliz Kalmar and Jenna Pulkkinen.Â
How it happened
Fresno State built off the momentum of their first relay and never turned back. Bulldogs struck just right in the 200 medley relay with Sienna Cheng-Lucey, Mackenzie Miller Lung, Hayley Oke and Jenna Pulkkinen, the relay team now owns the program and Aquatic Center record with a time of 1:38.51.Â
Bulldogs replace the program record from last season that was broken at Mountain West Championships and the Aquatic Center record previously held by California from 2018-19.Â
"We're at a really good place this early in the season," said head coach Jeanne Fleck "It's amazing we've broken the program and Aquatic Center record from a relay that has an Olympian on it (Abby Weitzel)."Â
Caroline Grimsley saw a career best time and finish in the 1000 freestyle, the freshman took second with a time of 10:18.15. Fresno State grabbed the next three events with Samantha Arredondo (200 free), Cheng-Lucey (100 back) and Jenna Pulkkinen (100 breast). Pulkkinen collected her first NCAA time standard of the season in the 100 breaststroke (59.84).Â
The Bulldog freshman continued to show their strength in the pool as Audrey Hill placed second in the 200 butterfly (2:05.14) and Oke with back-to-back individual event wins with the 50 free (23.14) and 100 free (50.61).Â
The energy picked up in the 500 freestyle as the long distance race came down to the last 50-yards. Clare Luken trailed behind East Bay's Clemmens by over a body-length for over half of the race. Luken took the lead into the turn of the final 50-yards, the pair were neck-and-neck to the final touch. The sophomore out touched Clemmens by five tenths of a second.Â
Aliz Kalmar claimed her NCAA qualification standard in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:10.01. The senior has dropped three seconds since the Gary Ota Invite inÂ
early October.Â
Notes
Fresno State vs Fresno Pacific, 212-46Â
Fresno State vs Cal State East Bay, 190-71
Cal State East Bay vs Fresno Pacific, 206-50
Up Next: Fresno State looks forward to their first conference dual meet this season to face the Nevada Wolf Pack next Saturday, Nov. 1 at 11 a.m. PT at the Fresno State Aquatic Center.Â
