Odom, Palmer and Hay make waves at U.S. Open
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The University of Utah's swim program flew through the third night of the Toyota U.S. Open with four swimmers earning a chance in evening session, tallying six personal bests and six program Top Ten Times in Greensboro, N.C. on Friday night.
"Overall, great session for tonight," said assistant coach Jordan Taylor. "The biggest thing that we're pleased with is the way athletes took the feedback that we gave them this morning, they learned from their races this morning and applied the pointers we've given them. That really set them up for success"

"It was a really great session tonight, but we have one more day to go" said Taylor. "Some big swims tomorrow, but the goal is to keep the momentum going from today and find the last little bit of juice left in the tank and finish strong."
Looking Ahead
Utah will finish the final day of the Toyota U.S. Open on Saturday in the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
