Making Waves: Fraire Breaks Record and Places Fourth at State Championships, Roux Medals in 3-Meter Diving Final

Another day, another pair of school records and medals for the Allan Hancock College women's swimming and diving team during day two of the 2019 California Community College Athletic Association's (CCCAA) State Championships at De Anza College. Freshman swimmer Izzie Fraire broke a school record and finished fourth in the women's 100-yard breaststroke final, while Kailey Roux finished sixth in the women's 3-meter diving final. Each Bulldog earned All-American status as a result.

Fraire finished the 100-breaststroke in 1:04.89, an improvement of 1.22 seconds over her previous personal best time. Orange Coast's Meghan Kluck won the state title with a time of 1:03.05, edging runner-up Carmen Ung of Pasadena by 0.15 of a second. Fraire earned 15 more points for Hancock in the team standings.

The Righetti High School graduate broke her own school record and came in second in the state in Thursday's 200-yard individual medley final with a time of 2:09.79. Fraire finished 0.07 of a second behind the state champion. She still earned the best finish by a Hancock swimmer in program history and scored 18 points for Hancock in the team standings.

The freshman will swim the 200-yard breaststroke on Saturday. Kluck is the top seed in that event at 2:23.18, followed by Fraire at 2:23.55; Brown, who finished seventh a year ago, at 2:24.52; and Ung at 2:24.72.

Earlier on Friday, Roux finished sixth in the women's 3-meter diving final with a total score of 153.35. She secured All-American status for the second time in as many days, and bested her program record for highest finish at state by a Hancock diver. Roux finished tenth in the 3-meter a year ago. The day after winning the 1-meter state title, Amy Crayne of American River captured the 3-meter state title with a total score of 266.30. Roux finished eighth in Thursday's 1-meter diving final with a score of 153.10. She finished ninth in the event last year.

With her sixth- and eighth-place finishes, the Orcutt Academy graduate has earned a total of 23 points for the Bulldogs in the team standings.

Roux and Fraire have combined to score 56 points for Hancock in the first two days. The Bulldogs are in 17th place out of 40 teams with one day remaining. Orange Coast leads the field with 398 points, while San Diego Mesa sits second with 236 points.

The three-day meet ends Saturday.
