SALT LAKE CITY - Utah swimming and diving welcomes Denver and Harvard this Saturday, Jan. 7 to the Ute Natatorium. The meet is set to begin at 11 a.m.
Denver will be bringing both their men and women's squad, while Harvard will only have the men's squad competing.
"I am very excited to renew our annual dual meet with Denver and their top-25 programs," said Utah head coach Joe Dykstra. "We also welcome a new opponent, the Harvard men's team, another top-25 team. This type of top competition will be great for us to see where we are. We have been training really hard over the winter break as have both of our opponents. It might not be the fastest swimming of the year but it should be really tough racing and a great test of where we are at this point of the season."
