Utah Swim & Dive Sweeps BYU

Women win on final event while men also earn victory
PROVO, Utah - Utah Swim and Dive made it a clean sweep of BYU on Saturday as the men won 160-138 and the women triumphed in the final relay and were also victorious, 152-148.
"I am really proud of both our teams today," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "BYU was performing at a really high level and we dug ourselves a hole in both meets. There was no quit in anybody on either team. We were able to claw back and make the final event on both sides one that would decide today's result. It was a thrilling college dual meet to be a part of. In front of a standing room crowd, I thank the Cougars for pushing us with tremendous racing."
The women's meet came down to the last event, the 400 free relay, and Utah overcame a 1-point deficit by winning. Kayla Miller, Maddie Woznick, Sarah Lott and Audrey Reimer finished fifteen-hundredths of a second ahead of their BYU counterparts to complete a daily double over the Cougars. Liam O'Haimhirgin, Felix Chiun, David Fridlander and Finn O'Haimhirgin capped a win for the men by also winning their final event in 2:59.20.
Fridlander had a fantastic day for the Utes, winning the 100 and 200 back events in addition to his relay performance. Rahiti De Vos also captured a pair of individual events with wins in the 200 and 500 free. Ben Waterman narrowly missed out on a second win of the day in the 200 fly after winning the 100. Tyler Klawiter was able to win the 1000 free as Liam O'Haimhirgin took the 100 free and over on the boards, Tony Chen won the 3m.
On the women's side Sara McClendon continued her strong swimming in the distance events, winning the 500 and 1000 free. Charity Pittard was back in the pool for the first time since earning Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week honors and the freshman raced to victory in the 200 breast and 200 IM. Before a strong swim in the final relay, Reimer won the 200 back, while Miller and Lott gained valuable points in the 100 free and 100 back, respectively. Christina Pick, swimming in her last rivalry meet, won the 200 fly and on the boards, Emma Ruchala took the 1m.
The diving teams are in action next weekend at the Air Force Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo. Men's swim competes again on Sat., Feb. 22 at home vs. USC and the women have finished their regular season and prepare for the Pac-12 Championships at the end of the month.
