Women's Swimming & Diving Battle Wyoming in Dual Action

Laramie, Wyo. – The Air Force Academy women's swimming and diving team fought hard and had numerous event wins in a 174-126 dual defeat to Wyoming, Friday evening, Oct. 18, at Laramie High School. Overall, AF won four events, while also tallying six runner-up finishes.

"We had an amazing meet tonight, across the board our women stepped up and raced hard," Head Coach Colleen Murphy said. "I am so proud of the effort the girls put into each and every race, they kept fighting and this was a huge step as we continue our rise in the Mountain West."

Starting off the day in the 200 medley relay, seniors Heidi Schellin and Esther Min, along with junior Kylie Stronko and freshman Sefilina Maile took first with a 1:45.45.
