THIS WEEK:
The University of Utah swimming and diving teams travel to Oklahoma City, Okla., to compete in the MWC Swimming and Diving Championships Feb. 23-26. Utah enters the meet as the women's regular season champions, while the men shared the season title with BYU.
BYU RECAP:
The women capped off a historic undefeated season, the first undefeated season in the history of the women's program, by defeating in-state rival BYU 155-88 on Feb. 4. The women won 11 of the 13 events in the meet, and the Utes never trailed the Cougars. The women shared the 2003-04 MWC regular season title with Colorado State.
The men earned a share of the regular-season MWC title by edging then No. 19 BYU men's team 135-108. Utah never trailed in the meet, winning 11 of the 13 events to beat the Cougars for the first time since the 1996 season. Utah improves to 4-2 on the season and 3-1 in the MWC.
UTE NOTES:
Entering the MWC Championships, five Utah swimmers have an NCAA `B' standard qualifying time. The Ute women hold the MWC top time in 15 of the 25 events. The men hold the top MWC mark in three of the 25 events. All MWC top times can be viewed at DirectAthletics.
QUOTING HEAD COACH Michael Litzinger:
"It is the time of the year for championship swimming and diving. Both teams will be ready to give great efforts in pursuit of the MWC title after a special dual meet season. Our goals have been the same since the beginning of the year: Win the regular season, put ourselves in contention for the MWC Championship, and on to the NCAAs."
