Utah vs. Arizona Results

SALT LAKE CITY- The University of Utah swimming and diving team suffered losses to Arizona today in Pac-12 action. The men's team was defeated 156-142 and the women fell 171-119.

"It was not the best exhibition of Pac-12 swimming we have seen from either team," said Utah head coach Joe Dykstra. "We had some slow, ugly swimming out there, very tired swimming. You can just tell both teams are beat up from training and the early morning start didn't help. However, we really got into that meet at the end.

We put up some times that were pretty terrible across the board but the effort was great. Some people were able to clean up some stuff technically from yesterday, even if they were turning in slower times. I will take some positives out of this. We have to continue to pay the grind in training and get ready for bigger things next month."

Jack Burton had an impressive showing for the Utes, winning the 100 breast, touching in at 57.02, as well as the 200 breast (2:05.54). He is currently undefeated this season in both events.
