SALT LAKE CITY- The Utah swim and dive team capped off another successful weekend with the dive team having multiple athletes finish on the podium, while the women's swim team had a strong day of racing down in Provo for their first taste of competition in the 2020-21 season.
"The meet went really well and I'm really excited to get back to competing after the winter break," said head diving coach Richard Marschner. "It has been such a start and stop season. I've been happy to see how mentally tough the team is where they don't make any excuses and compete really hard. We had three wins this weekend so it was great to see us not only compete, but compete really well."
Junior Tony Chen once again led the Utes on the 3m, taking another first place win with a score of 762.70 to sweep the men's events this weekend. Sophomore Luke McDivitt tallied another third-place finish with a score of 671.05. McDivitt was followed by sophomore Jenner Pennock, who placed in fourth with a score of 567.15.
The women finished the weekend strong, with all four Utes making it to the finals on the 1m. Senior Emma Ruchala took second with a score of 567.95 and sophomore Lexi Mills continued her strong weekend and placed third with a score of 541.70. Lizzy DeCecco followed in fourth scoring 527.10 and Regan Caufield came in fifth with a score of 498.85.
Meanwhile in Provo, the women's swim team competed in the BYU time trials. The event was not team-scored. Sadie Edwards picked up Utah's first win of the day in the 100 fly (56.20). Shortly after, Utah took the two top places in the 200 free with Alyssa Watson placing first (1:55.46) and Amber Gardner taking second (1:56.24). Later, Madeline Woznick took first in the 100 free (50.14) and 50 free (23.20).
Emma Broome (57.24) and Kate Leary (57.63) took third and fourth respectively in the 100 back, followed by teammate Audrey Reimer finishing second in the 200 back (2:05.40).
It was all Utah in the 1000 free as Sara McClendon came in first (10:39.95), Taylor Kabacy took second (10:43.38), and Cameron Daniell in third (10:49.99) Mandy Gebhart placed fourth (10:51.43). Utah finished the meet taking second in the 200 free relay (1:36.53), raced by Woznick, Reimer, Lawless, and Kayla Miller. For full swim results at the BYU time trials today, click here.
