GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The Utah men's and women's swimming and diving teams both won its quad-dual meet at the Intermountain Shootout in Grand Junction, Colo.

"This meet was a great experience for us," said Utah head coach Joe Dyksta. "We learned a lot about what we have to keep working to improve upon in training, but also realize that we are ahead of where we were last year at this point. I think our improved team depth was very apparent this weekend".

Soininen claimed the top spot in the 200 fly with a time of 2:04.94 and she was followed in second-place by Isabella Kearns (2:06.85). Soininen, who's finish in the 200 fly was a pool record in the event, also took the top spot in the 100 fly with a time of 56.67, while Melissa Paakh came in second-place (57.36).
Stina Colleou touched first in the 50 breast with a time of 30.41 and Marsh came in second with a time of 30.84. Butter followed finishing in third-place with a time of 30.99. Colleou also took first in the 200 breast (2:16.41), while Brianna Francis finished second (2:22.11).

Taking the top three spots in the 200 back were Barrett (First, 2:02.18), Pabst in (Second, 2:04.13) and Megan Kawaguchi (Third, 2:04.84).
The men finished with seven first place finishes on Saturday with the team of Nick Soedel, Sean Bloore, Alex Brown and Alex Fernandes opened with a win in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:21.83.

Kristian Kron took third in both the 200 IM (1:53.61) and the 200 back (1:51.77) events, while Evan Indahl finished fourth overall (1:54.59) in 200 back.
In the 100 free, Soedel recorded a pool record as he claimed the top spot with a time of 43.40.

"Amanda had a solid, consistent meet that we can definitely build on," said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. "She's already at or above the level she finished at last year and Jake did really well for five of his six dives, so we just need to work a bit on the last one. He's diving at a high level for this early in the season."
The Ute women will take to the pool this Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Boise, Idaho to take on Boise State. Then both teams will take a three week break before heading to Las Vegas, Ariz. to take on Arizona and UNLV in a dual meet.
