The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's swimming and diving team capped off a strong performance at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Championships, highlighted by Evan Deedy's victory in the 200-yard breaststroke and William Jones's triumph in the 1650-yard freestyle on February 22. Earlier in the meet, Deedy also secured a second-place finish in the 100 breast, while Pierce McShane earned the title in the 500-yard freestyle and Kenny Eckel defended his championship in the 200-yard individual medley. The Stags began the championships with a narrow victory in the 800-yard freestyle relay, winning by just five-hundredths of a second. This impressive showing solidifies their dominance in the conference and showcases their depth across multiple events.
In basketball, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's team achieved a crucial 76-71 overtime victory against Redlands on February 19, with Tanya Ghai playing a pivotal role by tying the game with two free throws in the closing seconds and scoring the decisive basket shortly after. This win secures at least a second seed in the upcoming SCIAC Tournament. Meanwhile, the men's basketball team faced a setback on the same day, losing 91-69 to No. 16 Redlands during their Senior Day, which honored Cahal Connolly, James Frye, and Luke Jacobson. The contrasting fortunes of the two teams highlight the competitive landscape as the regular season concludes, with the women's team looking to build momentum heading into the postseason.
