Diving competes Friday evening and swimming action begins Saturday morning
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah hosts BYU in the 2018 installment of the Deseret First Duel. The Utes will face the Cougars in a meet that was originally planned to take place in Provo but had to be rescheduled due to construction at BYU's pool. Diving begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday night while swimming will start at 11 a.m. the following morning.
Duel Information
This weekend's matchup between Utah and BYU will be part of the 2017-18 Deseret First Duel rivalry series. This is the 11th year of the rivalry series that includes each sport where Utah and BYU compete head-to-head during regular-season play.
Â
The Deseret First Duel uses a system that awards points to the winner of each competition. A team trophy will be awarded to the individual winner in each sport. Points won by the individual sports will count toward each school's overall total. A granite traveling trophy is awarded to the overall series champion each year.
Â
Utah won last season's competition and has captured it four of the last five years. The school that wins the head-to-head competition in each sport is also awarded $1,000 by Deseret First Credit Union for its student-athlete scholarship fund. The university that wins the most sports at the end of the season will receive an additional $5,000 from Deseret First for its athletic scholarship fund
Last Time Out
The Utes did well in Denver, sweeping them on the road for the first time since 2003. The women's competition came down to the 200 free relay, with Utah narrowly defeating Denver, 151-149. Genevieve Robertson and Sara McClendon had the top swims in the 200 breast and 1000 free, respectively. On the men's side, things were not as close. Utah defeated Denver 173.5-126.5, with Paul Ungur setting a new pool record in the 100 back (47.46) and winning the 100 fly (48.36). He also led off two successful relay events for the Utes top open and close the day.
Looking Ahead
Senior Days are quickly approaching with the women hosting Washington State on Sat., Jan 10 at 11 a.m. and the men welcoming USC on Sat., Feb. 17 at 2 p.m.
