AF defeated Grand Canyon, Idaho, and New Mexico State
PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Air Force Academy women's swimming and diving team captured victory in a quad-meet, defeating host Grand Canyon, 130-112, while also knocking off Idaho, 144-98, and New Mexico State, 154-88, Friday evening, Nov. 8, at the Fr. Edward Reese Aquatic Center.
The Falcons used the strength of their depth, as well as wins in five of the 13 total events, to sweep the four-team dual.
"Tonight our team stepped up and competed like champions," Head Coach Colleen Murphy said. "We started off with a big win in the 400 medley relay, and kept rolling throughout the meet. Our team is competing well and came together for three big wins today, and we are excited for tomorrow."
Air Force started off strong with the aforementioned 400 medley relay, as the squad of senior Heidi Schellin, junior Kylie Stronko, sophomore Emily Bardak, and freshman Sefilina Maile took gold.
Stronko, Schellin, and Maile ended up being the big stars of the meet for AF, as they captured the individual wins. Maile took first in the 100 and 200 free, while Stronko was first in the 200 back and Schellin in the 200 breast.
Meanwhile over on the diving board, senior Kayla Wofford was the top finisher in both events, as she placed second in the 1-meter and third in the 3-meter.
The Falcons will be right back in action tomorrow morning, Nov. 9, when they face GCU once again. Action against the Antelopes is set for 11 a.m. start time.
