LARAMIE, Wyo. -

Wyoming sophomore Damian Storz won three events Friday in Salt Lake City, Utah, leading the Cowboy swimming and diving team to a 138.5-102.5 victory over Mountain West Conference opponent Utah. The win improved the Pokes' overall season record to 4-1, 1-0 in conference.

Storz took top honors in the 1000 free (9:53.56) the 200 IM (1:55.98) and the 500 free (4:48.54).

Junior Guy Fulfer won two events against the Utes, winning the 200 free (1:45.24) and the 100 free (47.38). Sophomore Jake Weidert earned an individual victory in the 200 fly with a time of 1:55.79.

Jason Garman picked up two second-place finishes in the 50 free and the 100 free. Per Malmberg also had a couple of second-place showings in the 1000 free and the 500 free.

The Cowgirls just edged Utah, winning their dual meet by a score of 122-115, despite only winning five of 13 events. The victory gives the women's team a perfect 5-0 season record, 1-0 in the MWC.

Sophomore Mabry Fiddler won both the 1000 free (10:34.00) and the 500 free (5:14.01). Fiddler also placed second in the 200 IM.

Sophomore Angie Sax took first in the 200 fly with a time of 2:07.19, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Senior Wendy O'Connell won the three-meter springboard with a score of 260.47, and placed second on the one-meter. Wyoming also won the 400 medley relay.

Darcrea Corey, Crystal Mecham, Jody Riskowski and Allison Schmid all had second-place finishes for the Cowgirls.

"I was extremely pleased with our performances today," said Wyoming head coach Tom Johnson. "Everyone was very tired from the six hour bus trip and we have a lot of ill athletes. However, we managed to keep it together and we stepped it up and got a couple of wins.

"It was a very grueling, long day today but we'll need to regroup and get ready for BYU tomorrow." Johnson said.

Wyoming's men's and women's teams will dual against BYU on Saturday in Provo, Utah.
