Four individuals, a relay post event victories as CSU tops Air Force, Northern Arizona
AIR FORCE ACADEMY – Saturday is for catching up on chores, so Colorado State's women's swimming and diving team pulled out the brooms.
Picking up individual wins from four different swimmers and a relay, the Rams swept a 13-event double dual with Air Force and Northern Arizona at the USAFA Natatorium. CSU topped the host Falcons 127-115 and beat the Lumberjacks 144.5-97.5.
Julia Box won the 100-yard butterfly, then put a fitting cap on the day with a strong anchor leg as the Rams won the 200 freestyle relay (1:37.28). Box's win in the 100 fly (in a straight time of 56.95, faster than her altitude-adjusted mark of a week ago) set up a 1-2 finish for the team in event, with Jannae Frederick coming in a 58.78. The Rams also went 1-2 in the 200 individual medley behind Marie Goodwyn (2:09.77) and Katelyn Bartley (2:12.03).
Abbey Owenby won the 1,000 free in 10:43.37, taking second in the 500 free (5:18.14). Hannah Sykes hit the wall first in the 200 free in a time of 1:56.69.
The Rams' depth helped pull out the sweep with a host of top-three finishes. Diver Skylar Williams scored 252.05 to finish second on the 3-meter board, 239.70 to take third on the 1-meter. Elsa Litteken was the runner-up in the 100 back (58.98); the 200 medley relay was second in 1:46.24; Sydnee Whitty was third in both the 50 (24.10) and 100 free (54.02); and Kristina Friedrichs was third in the 200 free (1:57.42).
Colorado State is home on Saturday for its lone meet of the season at the Moby Pool, hosting Kansas. The event, which serves as Senior Day for Box, Goodwyn and Andrea Basile, begins at noon.
