Denver Up Next...
The Colorado State swimming and diving team will travel not to far south to take on the Pioneers of Denver University. The Rams are coming off a close victory over TCU and look to start 5-0 on the season. The meet is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 14 and will begin at 4 p.m. MT.
Rams Edge Horned Frogs in Fort Worth...
The Rams went on the road for the first time in the 2006-07 season and pulled off a close 156-144 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs. As expected the meet was very close. The two teams were listed as 4 and 5 in the pre-season rankings (TCU being 4th and Colorado State close behind at 5th). With this win in Fort Worth, the Rams have a conference record of 4-0 and sit alone at the top of the Mountain West Conference standings.

Senior Brette Winegarner won the 100- and 200-yard backstroke competition for the second consecutive meet.

Winegarner's winning time in the 200-yard backstroke was 2:05.85.
