MEET PREVIEW LINFIELD AT A GLANCE The Wildcats make their home debut after both teams defeated Willamette on the road to kick off the 2025-26 season last weekend. Kirsti Keppo led the way for the Linfield women, winning three individual events. Rocco Velie recorded the most wins on the men’s side, helping the Wildcats prevail in the final event of the meet to secure the team victory over the Bearcats. Kira Etheredge owns the NWC’s top time in the 100-yard butterfly (1:00.25), while Keppo ranks among the top five performers in three events. Velie is off to a strong start, holding the second-fastest 200 freestyle time with a mark of 1:49.05.
PACIFIC AT A GLANCE The Boxers are competing in their fourth meet of the season and third of the Northwest Conference season. Abby Fishers ranks fifth in the NWC in the 50 breaststroke with a time of 34.44, while Molly Sawyer is fifth in the conference in the 100-yard individual medley, with a time of 1:11.65. RECENT HISTORY Linfield has won the last eight dual-meet matchups versus the Pacific men’s and women’s teams.
