Local event puts Rams all in the same race
FORT COLLINS  – In preparation for the 2024-2025 season, Colorado State will be represented by the entire swim team at this year's Horsetooth Open Water Swims.
 Â
This event was started by CSU alum Oliver Turner in 1999. Throughout the years, several universities other than CSU have participated, including Adams State, Air Force and Northern Colorado. Â
Â
"Open water swim just allows them to all race with each other; they're not separated by events and they're not separated by lane lines," coach Christopher Woodard said, "That's pretty cool because you'll see a lot of them finish together and run out of the water with their hands held high."Â
Â
The competition takes place at 7 a.m. on Sept. 8 at Horsetooth Reservoir. CSU swimmers will participate in the 2.4-mile collegiate race which will be the first wave of the competition. Â
Â
Last year, the team had an 8-2 dual season with a third-place finish at the Mountain West Championships. Their first official event this season will be the Front Range Invitational on Oct. 4-5.Â
