Davis Stachelek finds two individual golds and a top 10 time
LAS VEGAS – Part of the University of Utah's swim program finished their first day at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas First Chance Meet, reaching six first-place finishes and a Utah top 10 time on Friday night at the Buchanan Natatorium.
Eleven Utes made an appearance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas First Chance Meet, hoping to reach an NCAA B-Cut to qualify for post-season meets.
"I'm really happy with the way our athletes competed today," said assistant coach Brody Lewis. "We had a handful of best time from our crew and I expect even more tomorrow."
Going Home with a Gold
Just Kept Swimming
"This is a great meet for these individuals to set the tone for our team as we kickoff our championship season, " said Lewis, "And that mixed with Valentine's day means, 'Roses are red, violets are blue, we're going to swim fast, with or without you'."
Looking Ahead
The Utes have one more session in Las Vegas, while the divers take on UCLA hoping to reach some NCAA Zones qualifying scores on Saturday, Feb. 15.
