Utes win, 160-102, but men fall, 183-79
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Swimming split a dual meet with Denver on Senior Day as the women rolled to a 160-102 result and the men faltered, 183-79.
The women's team set the tone by starting the event with four-straight wins in individual events. Sara McClendon won the 1000 free in 10:15.24 and would later take the 500 free in 5:00.94.
"I am really proud of the women today," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "They put things away pretty early. They were sharp, had great touch outs and finished their races. I am very proud of them and the seniors."
After Kyla Yetter notched the top time in the 200 free, Audrey Reimer rolled in the 100 back. The sophomore was back in the pool to win the 200 back later in the day.
Charity Pittard was the top performer for Utah, winning the 100 breast (1:04.62), 200 breast (2:18.05) and 400 IM (4:29.89). Leyre Casarin was another winner of multiple events, capturing the 50 free (24.06) and 100 free (52.07). Reimer, Casarin, Maddie Woznick and senior Sarah Lott closed the afternoon with a win in the 400 free relay (3:27.06).
The men struggled against the Pioneers with only Ben Waterman winning the 100 fly in 49.38
Both teams are off for a couple of weeks before taking on BYU in their annual rivalry meet in Provo.
UCLA DIVING INVITATIONAL
Luke McDivitt, the reigning Pac-12 Diver of the Month, turned in the outstanding performance on Saturday for the Utes. The freshman placed third in the finals of the platform event.
After winning the 3m yesterday, Tony Chen finished one spot out of qualifying for today's finals, placing 13th.
On the women's side, two competitors reached the finals of the 3m as Emma Ruchala finished 13th and Regan Caufield placed 16th.
"Luke bounced back really well today so I was happy to see him be able to put yesterday behind him and set a new personal best, moving into fourth all-time at Utah on platform," diving coach Richard Marschner said. "Emma is really learning how to compete at these large meets as these are the best two days she has ever had at an invite. Regan making finals is a huge accomplishment for a freshman and her best event is coming up tomorrow on tower."
