Utes bring home seven golds
LAS VEGAS – Eleven University of Utah swimmers and six divers split to conquer the University of Nevada, Las Vegas First Chance meet and the UCLA Last Chance meet, with six swimmers bringing home a gold and all six divers earning a post-season meet cut, on Saturday.
Eleven Utes made an appearance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas First Chance Meet, looking to beat their personal bests.
"I was very pleased with how our athletes competed today in the different racing situations," said assistant coach Brody Lewis. "We had a lot of time trial swims that were solo efforts, but that didn't stop us from being motivated and executing details in a new situation."
Going Home with a Gold
Just Kept Swimming
"Overall, I'm excited for each individual's future and thankful for all their efforts and contributions to our program's success this season," said Lewis.
In California, the divers took on UCLA for their Last Chance Meet, where all six were able to secure their platform qualifying score.
In the Zone(s)
"I am so proud of everyone for hitting their zone scores," said assistant dive coach Gabby Logozzo, "It boosts confidence heading into Big 12s and keeps everyone excited for conference."
Looking Ahead
The swimmers and divers will meet back in Salt Lake City to prepare to travel for Federal Way, Wash. where they'll take part in their first Big 12 Conference Championship on Feb. 25- March 1.
