Utah Swim and Dive takes 13 of 16 events

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Swimming and Diving got a glimpse at what could be in store this season during an exhibition relay meet against BYU this evening.

The meet began with the Utes winning the 150 fly relay in 1:17.63 behind a combination of Emma Lawless, Audrey Reimer and Kayla Miller. Then, Reimer and Lawless anchored the 150 back relay with Sarah Lott and finished first with a time of 1:16.93.

Sisters Mariah and McKenna Gassaway swam the 150 breast relay together and were joined by newcomer Charity Pittard. Once more, the Utes came out on top with a time of 1:28.58.

Sibling success was a theme for the evening as brothers Finn and Liam O'Haimhirgin swam on the first-place 400 free relay along with Rahiti De Vos and Felix Chiun.

Chiun also helped the 400 IM relay take first along with Ben Waterman, Jaek Horner and Lex Hernandez-Nietling, who just returned from the Junior World Nationals in Prague.

When all was said and done, Utah captured 13 of the 16 events en route to a commanding win.

The home opener and official start to the season will be October 4 at Ute Natatorium when Arizona comes to town.
