FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — Mother nature derailed day one of the 2025 Northwest Conference Swimming Championships on Thursday evening at the King County Aquatic Center with four events partially contested but no champions crowned.
Inclement weather meant that three of the NWC's nine schools were unable to get to the venue in time for the start of the meet. As a result the opening four events were contested with just six schools with the remaining three squads to race in those events over the next few days to determine the champion.

The meet opened with
Emma Gassman,
Scout Hawkins,
Melissa Zuniga, and
Riley Maher helping Pacific Lutheran University to a third place finish in the first heat of the 200-yard medley relay. The Lute quartet touched the wall in one minute, 48.95 seconds.
Maher, Hawkins,
Lola Chargualaf, and Gassman later finished fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay in 8:05.43.
The men finished fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay with
Tyler Tanaka,
Dylan Dang,
Na'inoa Loo, and
August Hertz clocking a time of 7:10.43. The PLU men's team's 200-yard medley relay was disqualified.
The 2025 NWC Championships resume tomorrow with preliminary races at 9 a.m. and the championship session getting underway at 5 p.m.
