SALT LAKE CITY - Utah women’s swimming won ten events this Friday night as they captured a 157-96 win against Oregon State in the Ute Natatorium.
“I was really pleased,” said Utah head coach Joe Dykstra. “I think that we cleaned some stuff up from the relay meet last week. We had a lot of faster splits than we did last week, even though we had a really intense week of training. I thought the focus and attention to detail was really pretty strong across the board. My favorite thing about today was you are seeing this team come together as a competitive unit. We are more cohesive and supportive of one another than we have been in the past few years.”
Jordan Anderson and Stina Colleou won two events each for the Utes. Anderson captured the 200 fly (2:05.16) as well as the 500 free, touching in at 5:07.70. Colleou took first in the 100 beast (1:04.29) and the 200 breast (2:18.48).
