Both Ute squads impress against the Rebels
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Swim and Dive came away victorious this evening against UNLV as the men won 186-108 and the women followed suit, 189-111.
"We put up some top times and looked a lot cleaner out there this evening," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "We are certainly beat up and tired from lifting and training but I am proud of how we are learning from our previous performances. That is vitally important for such a young team. Our effort was strong again and I also thought we were a little more cohesive as a unit."
The men's meet started with success in the 400 medley relay. David Fridlander Andrew Britton, Liam O'Haimhirgin and Ben Waterman won in 3:19.20. Britton came back and captured the 100 breast in 57.06 with O'Haimhirgin won the 100 free in 45.71. Waterman went on to take two more events for Utah, the 200 fly in 1:52.65 and 100 in 49.51.
Another winner in multiple events was Tyler Klawiter. He was able to win the 1000 free in 9:26.66 and the 500 in 4:3.76. There were more Utes in the winner's circle as Felix Chiun took the 50 free in 20.95 and Harrison Wayner seized the 200 breast in 2:07.39. The evening concluded with the O'Haimhirgin brothers, Chiun and Cooper DeRyk beating the Rebel contingent with a time of 1:22.47
The women also cruised to victory, starting with another solid performance in the 400 medley relay. Emma Lawless, Charity Pittard, Sarah Lott and Maddie Woznick won the event with a time of 3:46.88.
Pittard won a couple more events for Utah, the 200 breast (2:21.00) and the 200 IM (2:06.51). Leyre Casarin also completed the daily double, winning the 50 free in 23.85 and the 100 in 51.77. Lawless and Lott also impressed individually with the sophomore taking the 100 fly in 56.64 and the senior winning the 100 back in 55.77.
Four more Utes picked up individual wins with Mariah Gassaway won the 100 breast in 1:04.67, Christina Pick took the 200 fly in 2:05.37, Audrey Reimer rolled in the 200 back with a time of 2:00.81 and Sara McClendon sailed to victory in the 1000 free in 10:14.44
Tony Chen dominated for the Utah men on the boards, winning the one meter (326.70) and three meter (365.93), while Emma Ruchala won the women's one meter (270.53). The two Utes, along with Lizzy DeCecco and Regan Caufield, had their best scores of the season and hit qualifying marks for NCAA Zones.
Utah's divers compete in the Trojan Diving Invitational at USC, Nov. 8-10 while the swimmers are off until the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta, Nov. 22-24. The next meet at Ute Natatorium is the Utah Diving Invitational, Dec. 6-7. The next home meet for the women is Jan. 17 against Washington State and Nevada. The men will be back in action the next day, competing against Denver
