"We swam well, there were some events I thought we could be better in, but we did really well in all the 200 events and the 50 freestyle" UW head coach Tom Johnson said. "The last relay was great. This was a difficult 48 hours for the team, but I'm proud of how they performed. Having recruits here, I feel it's important that they give their best effort and they did tonight."

Wyoming closed out the meet with wins in the final six events. Sophomore Isobel Ryan led the way with a victory in the 100 freestyle, finishing in 52.90, and then swam the first leg of UW's 200 free relay which won with a time 1:36.71, beating out the competition by nearly four seconds.
