LARAMIE, Wyo. – Wyoming women's swimming and diving topped Colorado State by a score of 166-132 in Thursday evening's Border War showdown at Laramie High School.

The Cowgirls extended their winning streak over the Rams, dating back to 2009, by claiming first in 10 of the dual's 16 events. UW got things going with wins in the first four events of the day. Sophomore Karla Contreras continued her winning ways with the top score in the 1-meter (298.05). Junior CeeJay Harris and senior Peyton GrandPre helped Wyoming sweep the top three spots with marks of 239.55 and 235.50, respectively. In the 200 medley relay, the team of freshman Hanna McLean-Leonard, senior Maria Harutjunjan, junior Samantha Burke and junior Isobel Ryan clocked a top time of 1:45.36.

Sophomore Talita Te Flan placed first in the 1000 freestyle, touching the wall in 10:29.19, more than 12 seconds faster than the competition. Burke then earned an individual victory in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:55.71. Harutjunjan picked up a win of her own in the 100 breaststroke, finishing in 1:05.01.

"We love the rivalry that is always part of this dual, and our women stepped up as a team tonight," UW head coach Dave Denniston said. "We are getting key swimmers back who have been battling injuries and this meet really help the team define its own identity. I know I speak for the entire coaching staff when I say we're proud of this time and can't wait to race Air Force on Saturday."
