Utah sets four pool records in victory
SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah men's swimming team capped an amazing Senior Day at Ute Natatorium with a 141-121 victory over No. 8 USC on Saturday
Â
The upperclassmen set the tone as Jack Burton, Ben Scott and Paul Ungur teamed with Rodolfo Moreira to win the 200 medley relay in 1:28.81, a new pool record.
Â
In the process, Ungur swam the leadoff leg, a 50 back, in 21.37 seconds to set a new pool record. He would also take runner-up in the 100 back and 100 fly.
Â
Two more pool records were set this afternoon as Rahiti De Vos captured the 500 free in 4:26.14 and Cole Avery won the 200 IM in 1:50.01
Â
However, this was a day for the seniors as they continued to rack up critical points for the Utes. Burton was the runner-up in the 100 breast and then won the 200 breast in 2:00.78. Scott was the runner-up in the 200 fly and took fifth in the 100 fly. Ganem Tebet earned a pair of top-five finishes in the 200 and 100 breast and Peter Kotson finished fifth in the 1000 free.
Â
The 1000 free was captured by another Ute, Matteo Sogne, in 9:22.69, and Liam O'Haimhirgin won the 50 free in 20.38. The day ended with Ungur putting an exclamation mark on the meet in the 400 free relay with O'Haimhirgin, Austin Phillips and Felix Chiun. The quartet won the event with a time of 2:56.17
Â
The Utes now have next weekend off before the Pac-12 Men's Swimming Championships, Feb. 28 – Mar. 3, at the Weyerhaeuser King Co. Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash.
