LARAMIE, Wyo. (Oct. 10, 2018) – The Cowgirl swimming and diving team will host the New Mexico State Aggies on Friday. The meet will take place at Corbett Pool at the University of Wyoming. Diving will begin at 3:30 p.m. MT followed by swimming at 5 p.m. This is the second dual meet for both teams this year.
"We should have some good head to head races in most of the events," head coach Dave Denniston said. "For the Cowgirls, this will be their second-time swimming in Corbett this season and after this meet UW Swimming and Diving not will be back in Laramie to compete until Nov. 15th."
Last time out, the Cowgirls competed in the DU relays and placed second out of four teams. As a team, UWscored 176 to earn their spot in the top two. Denver scored 200 points to come away from the competition infirst place. Three Wyoming relay teams won its events on Saturday. Katelyn Blattner, Daniela Luna Rocha and Lainee Jones touched the wall in 8:55.24 to earn first place in the 3x300 freestyle relay.

Jones is the first UW swimmer to earn the honor since Maria Harutjunjan on Feb.3, 2017.
"On the women's side, this young class is something special and I think their being guided by a really neat senior class and we will get another opportunity to see what the athletes are capable of."
