The Wolverines faced opponents from Santa Rosa Junior College, Allan Hancock College, American River College, Las Positas College, and San Joaquin Delta College during this 6-team event.
In a meet featuring both usual and unusual relays, the Wolverines outscored second-place American River College, 124-98 points, to capture the Invitational Title.

While some first-place finishes were by a larger margin, close finishes also contributed to their win. The Wolverines’ 400 Freestyle Relay team, consisting of Noe Gardner, Hailey Hensley, Hannah Cockcroft, and Ally Boudreaux, edged out the competition with a first-place time of 3:52.25.
For the first meet of the season, the Wolverines showcased impressive relay splits and times.
