Condensed Warm-up Doesn't Slow Cougars

(All scores and times are attached.)

COLO. SPRINGS -- Competing on half the usual warm-up due to flight complications, the BYU men's and women's swimming and diving teams wasted no time in the pool, beating the Air Force Falcons at their place and taking 17 out of the 24 total events for men and women. Collectively both BYU teams had three triples and seven doubles, the divers took three out of the four diving events and the women won all of their events. The women won 155-77 and the men 139.5-103.5.

"The girls swam relatively well considering we only had 30-40 minutes to warm-up," said women's swimming coach Stan Crump.

Junior Brittany Davis and sophomore Angela Goodson each won all three of their events, making that two triples in a row for Goodson after winning all of her events against Colo. State last weekend. Junior diver Kristin Pitt also took all of her events, sweeping both the 1-meter (269.78) and the 3-meter (282.82) on the boards. Junior Sarah Woodbury, sophomores Jamie Bloom and U-Nice Chan and freshman Leilani Roberts also pitched in, all scoring doubles for the Cougars.

Junior sprinter and dual MWC Swimmer of the Week Brett Allen continued his hot streak, once again winning the 50 and 100 free, along with the 400-free relay. Allen has not lost a 50 or 100 free this season. Juniors Jorge Azevedo and Mark Chay padded the Cougars score adding two more doubles to help their lead. Sophomore diver Ron Morris added a win on the 1-meter board with a score of 297.97, 20.45 points over second place, to give the Cougars additional points.

"It was a really good meet," said men's swimming coach Tim Powers. "We swam smart and lost a couple close races. We showed a lot of depth. It all worked out well today."

The swimmers will travel to Wyoming on Friday to take on the Cowboys Saturday at noon. The divers will stay at Air Force to compete in the AFA Diving Invitational through Saturday.

BYU Swimming and Diving Heads to Higher Ground for Dual Meets

Image

PROVO -- The men's and women's swimming and diving teams will travel to Air Force Thursday to take on the Falcons at 7,200 feet in the Cadet Natatorium at 5 p.m. before the swimmers climb to Laramie for a Saturday meet at noon against the Cowboys at Wyoming. The divers will stay at Air Force to meet seven other teams for the AFA Diving Invitational through Saturday.

The No. 20 BYU men's swimming team was beat by Air Force at the Speedo Cup Invitational in mid-Nov. at UC Irvine. BYU came in third behind the Falcons in second place. But men's swimming coach Tim Powers said the Cougars have been training hard and they are ready for the challenge.

"Air Force has some outstanding swimmers and we expect it to be a tough meet," Powers said. "But our guys have been training hard and I like the way we're looking."

The women also met Air Force at the Speedo Cup but defeated them by 123 points.

"We handled Air Force at the Speedo Cup, but they will test us," said women's swimming coach Stan Crump.

Powers and Crump both agreed meeting Wyoming on Saturday would be exhausting for both teams, but manageable.

"It's just a tiring trip because we're in the cycle part of our season," said Crump. "We're in the middle of pounding them for conference."

The BYU diving team will compete at Air Force Friday at noon and Saturday at 9 a.m. against MWC opponents Air Force, Colorado State, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, in addition to Colorado College and Denver.

Diving coach Keith Russell said his team is making definite improvement, but the invitational will bring new challenges because it will be the Cougars first meeting with Air Force and Wyoming this season.

"Wyoming will be really tough but I expect all of us to be in the game all the way," Russell said. "I expect to win."

This will be the Cougars' final road trip before the MWC Championships Feb. 22-25. BYU will meet Utah at home Feb. 2 and the Stanford divers Feb. 10.
