CSU trio wins two events each
DENVER -- Â The two squads split the wins of the course of the afternoon, leaving the decision up to depth.
Â
Host Denver made it a habit of collecting the extra points, doing so in 11 of the 14 individual events and scoring the extra relay both times in posting a 167-133 victory over Colorado State on Friday afternoon at El Pomar Natatorium.
Â
"And when we did win, we only got a point in each, so not our finest performance," CSU coach Christopher Woodard said. "We needed touch-outs, we needed people to come with their best and not sort of slower than they had two weeks prior. And some people did. You can't complain when we set a record in the 200 breast.
Â
"Gabby (Hall's) 100 (free), Margo (Hauser's) 500, and a bunch of other performances that were really good. Unfortunately, it didn't come in bunches. They came once and they didn't gain us much of an advantage."
Â
The day started well for the Rams with Sydney Ovesen sweeping both diving events before action in the lanes took center stage. She scored 246.38 to win the 1-meter, posting a 247.95 on 3-meter. Juliana Dodd was second on 3-meter (237.30) after finishing third on 1-meter (219.00).
Â
It took a bit for the Rams to post their first win in the lanes with Tess Whineray breaking the ice in the 100-yard backstroke in a time of 53.14. She would double up in the 200 back, touching at 1:55.89.
Â
Kayda Geyer won both breaststrokes, with each time ranking second on the school record board. Â She clocked in at 1:00.50 in the 100, 2:12.61 in the 200, a time which set the pool record. She would finish second in the 200 IM (2:02.62), lowering a time which already ranked eighth at the school.
Â
Colorado State's other victory came from Hall in the 100 free with the sophomore touching in 50.92. She and Whineray were part of the winning 200 freestyle relay (1:31.85), joined by Mia Axleman and Lauren Golden.
Â
This was the first of three duals for the team in a span of eight days, with the next two in Fort Collins. Wyoming is next, with Northern Arizona following a day later, both of which will bring squads with stout lineups. Woodard's plan was to make sure his team took the right message away from the Denver showing.
Â
"The message is you have to show up. We were talking about being tired and wanting to be home before we even stepped on deck," Woodard said. "There are no easy duals on the Front Range. If it's not a wake-up call for some of them, then we need to reassess what we're doing."
