FORT COLLINS, Colo. – With a string of strong performances at the conference championships, five Colorado State swimmers earned a spot on the All-Mountain West swimming and diving team, announced by the league today.
Â
All-conference honors are achieved with a top-eight finish in an individual event or top three for relays.
Â
Juniors Kristina Friedrichs and Abbey Owenby earned their place on the team in two events each. Friedrichs placed third in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 22.79 which ranks third all-time at Colorado State and fourth in the 100 freestyle in a time of 50.46. Owenby landed on the team by placing fifth in the 1,650 freestyle (17:08.79) and seventh in the 400 individual medley with a personal-best time of 4:24.84.

For Friedrichs, it was the second consecutive year she's made the team, as it was for sophomore Hannah Sykes by placing seventh in the 200 butterfly (2:02.03).
Â
Like Owenby, sophomore Liza Lunina and freshman Anika Johnson earned all-conference for the first time. Lunina's spot came with an eighth-place finish in the 200 backstroke (2:02.54), while Johnson's recognition comes from her eighth-place showing in the 200 free (1:50.74).
