LARAMIE, Wyo. (7/12/22) – A lion's share of Dave Denniston's recruiting is aimed at incoming freshmen. That being said, the University of Wyoming swimming & diving head coach is adapting and embracing the transfer portal.

Wyoming is welcoming three transfers for the 2022-23 season. Brynlee Busskohl from San Diego State, Quinn Cynor from Cincinnati and Keegan March from Cal Lutheran will arrive in Laramie with collegiate experience and a different perspective that will add to the culture of Denniston's squad. 

"One of the nice things about the transfer portal, for us, is once the athlete has been in a different school and seen what college life is like, they see how authentic our team and program is and are really drawn to that," Denniston said. "The value of that, you can't put a dollar sign on."

Those three join junior Carly Palmer who transferred to UW from Boise State a season ago. Denniston saw what Palmer brought to the team and the positive reverberations her presence had.

"Our academic services are some of the best in the country, and our trainer Thomas (DeSimone) will help any athlete on the team at any time," Denniston said. "That's something that's unique to our university. Some of those things we just know are there, that we take advantage of, (our transfers) appreciate it a little more.

"That appreciation spreads throughout the team."

Below is a list of the three transfers and what they accomplished in their one year of collegiate swimming.
