Sophomore Missy Lewis won two events, the 50 free and 50 breast to lead all varsity swimmers. Freshman Lauren Bush, who swam for the alumni, had an impressive debut for the Cowgirls winning both the 100 and 200 free. Other individual winners for the Cowgirls were Auburn transfer Mabry Fiddler in the 100 IM, sophomore Angie Sax in the in the 50 fly and sophomore Jody Riskowski in the 50 back. In diving sophomore Lauren Colaric swept both the one and three-meter events. Colaric transferred to Wyoming this year from Auburn.
