GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.— Guillaume Guth broke the meet, pool and school records in the 100-yard freestyle and anchored a Colorado Mesa University men's 400-yard medley relay team to the same record trifecta while Olivia Hansson and Ada Qunell both set records to help lead the Maverick swimmers to another impressive day on Saturday here at the El Pomar Natatorium.
 
The Mavericks also combined for another 31 NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying times throughout the day and wrapped up the 3 ½ day meet with convincing team victories.
 
The CMU men won five of Saturday's six events and finished the meet with 1,744 points, just ten shy of the record, set in 2018.  They also won the meet for the ninth straight time and for the 14^th time in the 15-year history of it by 756 points over the Colorado School of Mines.
 
The Maverick women won the first and last events of the night and finished the meet with 1,207 points to easily win over NCAA Division I Northern Arizona, which took second with 1,039.  Mines was third with 780, the Orediggers' highest total in 14 meet appearances.
 
The Mavs claimed 31 of the 42 event wins throughout the week, including all ten relays and all four diving events.
 
Luka Samsonov, Aron Jonsson, Oskar Sawicki and Guth capped the morning preliminary session with a 400 medley relay time of 3:09.57 (3:09.17-converted) in a time trial, easily breaking the meet and pool record of 3:10.93 and the school record of 3:10.31 by more than a second.  Guth turned in a 42.08 second split after Samsonov led off the race with a 100 backstroke split of 47.50 seconds (47.40-converted) to move into the No. 3 spot of program history for that individual discipline.
 
In the evening session, Guth, a 2024 Paris Olympian in the 400-meter freestyle relay for his native France, dominated the 100 free event, touching the wall in 42.76 seconds (42.66-converted), easily surpassing the meet and pool record that had been set by fellow Olympian Harry Stacey (Ghana) at last year's meet.  Guth also broke Stacey's CMU standard by 0.18 seconds with the altitude adjustment.
 
On the women's side, Hansson started off the evening session with a commanding win in the 1,650 free as she finished more than a lap ahead of teammates Hanna Sasivarevic, Melaina Howard and Sydnee O'Neil, who joined the Swedish senior as NCAA championships provisional qualifiers.  Hansson finished in 16:51.46 (16:31.46-converted) to break her own school record from a year ago by 7.10 seconds while taking this season's Division II lead by more than 12 seconds.  She won the race by nearly 33 seconds over Sasivarevic, who ranks fourth in the country as of Saturday evening with a converted time of 17:04.32.
 
Howard also ranks sixth at 17:05.90 (converted) and moved into the No. 5 spot of CMU history while O'Neil finished in 17:36.78 (17:16.78-converted) to complete the 1-4 Maverick sweep.
 
Hansson won all four distance freestyle events throughout the week and claimed the meet's high-point honor with 80 points.
 
Meanwhile, Qunell broke what had been the longest standing pool record in the 100 free, leading off the Mavs' winning 400 free relay team with a 49.60-second (49.50-converted) split.  That broke Randi Yarnell's 100 free record of 49.82 set in 2018 for Western Colorado University.  Reagan Horn, Kendyll Wilkinson and Hansson then finished off the Mavs' relay time of 3:23.29, good for a 2.44-second win over the NAU Lumberjacks.
 
Qunell's time also puts her on top of the country as of Saturday night and was a personal-best.
 
Richard Schmeidefeld, Guth, Marcos Otero and Holden Convertino then won the men's relay in 2:55.74 as the Mavs successfully qualified all ten of their relay teams for the national championships throughout the week.
 
The Mavs were racking up fast times and wins throughout the evening  as Gavyn Tatge and Ethan Gluck moved to fourth and tenth in CMU history in the men's 1650 free.  Tatge battled Mines' Vladislav Kazakin, the men's meet high point scorer, to the end, finishing in 15:44.87 (15:24.87-converted).  Gluck took third in 16:04.09 (15:44.09-converted) and joined Tatge as NCAA "B" qualifiers.
 
Freshman Abby Uhl then took second in the women's 200 backstroke while she and sophomore Taylar Hooton both set NCAA provisional times.  Uhl was the top qualifier out of the morning preliminary session in 2:00.02 (1:58.82-converted) and now ranks fifth in CMU history and first in Division II.  She finished the final in 2:00.97 as Gracie Munk of NAU won by a finger in 2:00.96.
 
Hooton finished the final in 2:02.75 (2:01.55-converted).
 
The Maverick men then went 1-2-3 in the event as Samsonov won the event in 1:45.54 (1:44.34-converted) ahead of Richard Schmiedefeld (1:46.99) and Ethan Viescas (1:49.69).  Schmiedefeld had posted a morning time of 1:46.22 (1:45.02-converted) to join Samsonov near the top of the national performers list.
 
The Mavs also had three NCAA "B" qualifiers in the women's 100 free as Horn took second in 51.68 seconds (51.58-converted) while Wilkinson won the "B" final in 51.85 seconds (51.75-converted).  Qunell had also posted a sub-50 time of 49.93 as an exhibition swimmer in the morning preliminaries before setting the discipline's meet and pool record at night in the relay.
 
Guth, who automatically qualified for the national championships, then led a 1-2-3 CMU sweep and five total NCAA qualifiers in the men's 100 free.  Holden Convertino and Ben Vester were second and third and moved into the No. 7 and 8 spots of CMU history with times of 44.34 (44.24-converted) and 44.36 (44.26-converted) seconds, respectively.    Sawicki and Marcus Piñeiro were also NCAA "B" cut qualifiers in the consolation final.
 
Antonia Leese then took fourth in the women's 200 breaststroke with a NCAA "B" cut time of 2:19.14 (2:17.94-converted).
 
The Maverick men had four such qualifiers in that discipline as Jonsson won the event in 1:58.77 to lead a CMU sweep of the top four places.  Marcos Otero was second after posting his qualifying time of 1:59.22 (1:58.02-converted) in the prelims.  Miles Moran (2:00.06/1:58.86-converted) and Lucas Motley (2:01.56/2:00.36-converted) also went under the NCAA provisional standard to place third and fourth.  Moran now ranks seventh in CMU history.

Amber Siverts and Kiara Borchardt then set NCAA "B" times in the women's 200 butterfly.  Siverts moved into the No. 8 spot of CMU history with a fourth place time of 2:05.43 (2:04.23-converted) ahead of Borchardt's fifth place time of 2:05.57 (2:04.37-converted).
 
The Maverick men did even better taking each of the first five places.  Freshman Micah Moore won the race in 1:47.14 (1:45.94-converted) and now ranks third in CMU history.  Gluck ranks fourth after setting a preliminary round time of 1:47.80 (1:46.60-converted) before taking third in the final at 1:51.52.  Nathan Knobelspiesse was in between, finishing second in the final with an additional "B" cut time of 1:50.63 (1:49.43-converted).
 
The Mavericks will next race at the Dec. 15-17 UNLV Invitational.
