Ute women win every event against Beavers
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah women's swimmers capped a successful Senior Day at Don Reddish Pool with a 173-85 win over Oregon State
"I thought it was a great day for all five seniors," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "Darby set a pool record, Jordan swam her fly events and then got back on the blocks to anchor that all-senior relay to win by one-hundredth of a second, Ianire and Gillian put up solid times and Genny, coming back from her injury, was able to compete in a winning relay. These are memories that they will carry with them their whole lives. I also want to thank our fans for their support and the amazing turnout today."
 An emotional afternoon came to a fitting conclusion as four of the five seniors swam in the winning 200 free relay. Darby Wayner, Gillian St. John, Ianire Casarin and Jordan Anderson captured it for the Utes in a time of 1:35.67.
In her final home meet, Wayner would also set the pool record in the 100 breast (1:02.73) and win the 200 in 2:18.73. Her classmates also came through as Anderson won the 200 fly (2:05.23) and St. John was victorious in the 50 free (23.64).
The fifth senior, Genny Robertson, teamed with St. John, Aryanna Fernandes and Emma Lawless to guide Utah to a win in the meet's first event, the 200 medley relay (1:42.30). Fernandes also won a pair of individual events, taking the 100 free in 51.86 and the 200 IM in 2:05.51.

With the seniors in the spotlight, some other Utes shined in the pool. Sara McClendon won both the 200 and 500 free events, Mandy Gebhart took the 1000 free in 10:41.26, Sarah Lott won the 100 back (55.19), Emma Broome captured the 100 fly (57.03) and Audrey Reimer won the 200 back (2:02.41).
"We were a lot sharper today than two weeks ago against BYU," Dykstra added. "We finished races, turns were a lot crisper, and our underwaters had more energy. We are training hard for Pac-12 Championships and now we are working on getting faster. We have another big test next weekend at WSU and so now we will get rested and ready to go."
The last meet of the regular season is next Saturday in Pullman against Washington State. It is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. PT at Gibb Pool.
