GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The University of Utah's swim team finished their final day of competition in Grand Junction, Colo. taking on Colorado Mesa's TYR Invitational and earning a top three finish and three best times on Saturday night.

The Texas group finished their competition Friday night, but the Colorado crew took on one more day of competition against Colorado Mesa, Colorado School of Mines, Wyoming and Northern Arizona.
