FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -

Day Two Results  

The University of Wyoming swimming and diving teams finished its two-day meet with Louisiana State and host Northern Arizona on Saturday. On the second day, the Cowboys defeated Southeastern Conference member LSU by a score of 131-112 at the Wall Aqautic Center in Flagstaff, Ariz., while the Cowgirls bested NAU 144-99, but fell to the Lady Tigers 92-151.

Wyoming again won double-digit events on the day. UW claimed victories in ten of the 24 total events. Six of those ten wins were pool records. The Pokes got things started by setting a new pool record in the 200 medley relay. A team of Austin Layman, Kyle Scalise, George Eglesfield, and Bryce Carter brought home a top time of 1:41.40. Ryan Nelson broke yet another poll record in the 400 IM, as he touched with a final of 3:25.18 just before Slade Sheaffer continued UW's winning ways by securing the top time in the 200 freestyle with a mark of 1:54.34.

"I am very proud of the way the guys competed," UW head coach Tom Johnson said. "Especially how it came down to the last couple of events. It was a big win for our program. Kyle (Scalise) was very impressive today, even the LSU coaches noticed. The Cowgirls swam a lot better than yesterday. I'm glad they were able to hold off NAU on both days. I am happy with the results and the way they hit the pool. I think this meet will prepare them mentally and physically for the challenges the rest of the season will have."

The very next event was topped by Emily Ridout as she continued her successful weekend by winning the 50 freestyle. She posted a time of 26.20. The third consecutive event that went in favor of Wyoming was the 50 freestyle. Bryce Carter edged out Liam Metzsch with a time of 23.26 to claim victory.
