FEDERAL WAY -- BYU senior Jorge Azevedo helped propel the Cougars to a 148-140 victory over the University of Washington Huskies on Friday as he won two personal events and was a part of two relay teams that also placed first.
"Our legs weren't totally there for some events today," BYU coach Tim Powers said. "With us coming off of our Christmas training, competing in a meet just last night and arriving in Washington less than 12 hours before we competed, I am proud of how our guys succeeded against the challenges that were in front of them."
Azevedo swam with the 200 medley relay team that took first with a time of 1:32.41 and he also posted the fastest split time in helping the Cougars' 400 freestyle relay team take first place with a time of 3:03.12. Individually, Azevedo placed first in the 100 backstroke and the 100 butterfly with times of 50.03 and 48.48, respectively. The time that Azevedo recorded in the 100 back is a season-best for BYU.
The close contest between the Huskies and the Cougars came down to the final two events of the day. With two races left in the meet Washington was ahead by nine points. In the last two races, BYU's Neal Hamilton took first place in the 200 IM (1:52.58) and then the Cougars' 400 free relay teams placed in first and third to escape with the narrow eight-point victory.
The No. 23 Cougars improved to 10-1 on the season and the Huskies fell to 3-7. BYU's Travis Price also won an individual event in the meet. He won the 200 free as he finished with a time of 1:40.41, which is one second off his season's best.
The Huskies had eight individual-event first-place winners. UW's effort was highlighted by senior Ivan Perhat as he touched the wall first in the 50 and 100 free. Perhat finished with a time of 20.86 in the 50 free and a time of 45.14 in the 100 free. Although Perhat came out in first in those events, Cougar Gregor Greiner place second in the 50 free and Jeffery Su finished second in the 100 free.
The BYU men's swimming team will next be in action back in Provo on Jan. 17 at 6 p.m. as Colorado State comes to the Richards Building Pool.
