Throughout the first seven events of the evening in Corvallis, the Sun Devil women made it clear they would control the waters. The Devils struck first in the opening event, the 400-yard medley relay, out touching the Beavers’ A-relay by a hair under four seconds. Junior Chloe Isleta led off with the backstroke leg, then to junior Silja Kansakoski for breaststroke.
Then, it came to freshman Ruby Martin in her first official meet of her collegiate career. If Martin’s first swim is indicative of what is to come, the Sun Devils struck gold in the butterflyer from Iowa.
