Cougars Split Dual Meet With Rebels

Image

LAS VEGAS -- The BYU men's and women's split the Mountain West Conference dual meet with the men losing a close one 155-145 and the women winning 195-105.

"We were hot today," said BYU women's head coach Stan Crump. "All the girls swam fast. We blew them out of the water."

The Cougar women started off the meet winning the first six events and finishing first in 14 of the 16 events. Senior Brittany Davis-Burk was the meet's top swimmer placing first in the four events she swam in. She won the 100 back (57.18) and 200 back (2:04.94) and was part of the first-place 200 medley relay (1:45.11) and 400 free relay (3:27.90)

BYU had multiple-event winners in freshman Natasha Menezes, who won the 500 free (5:00.44), 1000 free (10:11.44) and 400 free relay; sophomore Leilani Roberts in the 100 free (51.33), 200 free (1:51.71) and 200 medley and 400 free relays; junior Jamie Bloom in the 100 breast (1:05.19) and 200 medley relay and junior Angela Goodson in the 100 fly (56.44) and 200 medley relay.

Other swimmers that finished first were senior U-Nice Chan in the 200 fly (2:06.59), junior Tara Bradshaw-Patience in the 200 IM (), freshman Kirsty Ferrell in the 400 free relay and on the boards freshman Ava Jackman won the 1-meter dive and junior Angela Neslson won the 3-meter dive with scores of 277.05 and 290.10, respectively.

The Cougar men lost a tight one to the Rebels and the difference in just one event would have changed the overall outcome of the meet.

"I feel good about our effort," said BYU men's head coach Tim Powers. "Our guys stepped and competed well today. The boys swam all the way to the end."

BYU started the meet winning the 200 medley relay (1:30.84) with swims from seniors Mark Chay, Brett Allen, Jorge Azevedo and Chris Patience. Azevedo took the 100 fly (49.49) and was part of the first-place 400 free relay (3:02.05) with Allen, Patience and junior Travis Price swimming the anchor.

Allen turned in one of the fastest times in the nation at the 50 free swimming a 20.07 and taking first in the meet. Junior Jeff Su won the 200 fly (1:51.58) and freshman Brandon Watson swept the boards scoring 318.98 on the 1 meter and 350.78 on the 3 meter.

"Brandon did really well on the boards," said Powers. "He earned us some big points for us today."

Both Cougar men and women will go to Long Beach on Thursday for the Speedo Invite while the divers will stay in Provo and compete in the BYU Invitational next Thursday through Saturday.

Cougar Swim Teams Take on SDSU and UNLV

Image

PROVO -- The Cougar men's and women's swim and dive teams will be on the road this weekend. The women will go to SDSU on Friday, and the men will join the women on Saturday at UNLV.

The Cougar men's and women's squads are both coming off impressive wins last week, beating TCU in Fort Worth, and look to continue their winning streaks in Mountain West Conference competition this weekend.

"Both meets for the men and women will be tough this weekend," said BYU women's head coach Stan Crump. "Every race will be very close, and the divers will be especially important in UNLV meet."

The Cougar women beat SDSU last year in Provo 125-103 and UNLV 141-102. In the MWC preseason polls the Rebels were picked to finish third, just behind BYU, and the Aztecs were picked to finished eighth out of the nine MWC teams.

The No. 24 BYU men's team will join the women at UNLV for their second MWC dual meet of the season. Last year the Cougar men beat the Rebels at Provo in-come-from behind fashion 132-109. The UNLV men's team was picked to finish second in the MWC this season, two points behind BYU.

"UNLV is the defending conference champs, and they got everybody back," said BYU men's head coach Tim Powers. "They don't lose that often and are tough to beat at home. I expect fast swimming, and I think UNLV will bring out the best in us."

Both meets will begin at 1p.m. PST.
