Utes to compete in Austin for third time in last four seasons
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah swim and dive team wrapped up their home opener against the UNLV Rebels after more than a seventy-point win for the men's team and a forty-point triumph on the women's side, and next on the docket for the Utes is a dive trip to University of Texas for the three-day Texas Diving Invite, starting Friday morning.
At the home opener against UNLV, Utah divers swept the women's 1m competition after senior Holly Waxman, freshman Callie Eaglestone and junior Kathryn Grant took the top three spots, and for the men, junior Elias Petersen took gold on both 1m and 3m events.
In the last visit to the Texas Diving Invitational, Waxman, Grant, and Utah dive alumni Lizzy DeCecco snagged a third-place finish in the team diving event, putting them just ahead of Notre Dame and Stanford with a total score of 279.40. On the individual events, Waxman and Grant earned 12th and 15th on the 1m.
