ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Air Force's two days in Albuquerque resulted in a split between the three teams, as the Falcons defeated host New Mexico 251-102 while dropping a head-to-head matchup with Colorado State by a score of 237-116.
"It's always hard to come back from Thanksgiving and start racing again, but that is exactly why we wanted to swim in this meet," said head coach Colleen Murphy. "It was a great win against New Mexico and we had some great swims. Our team showed lots of grit after a tough week at school and returning to altitude training."
Among the Falcons to pick up event wins were Grace Treanor and Kai-Min Tsuei. Treanor's performances in the one-meter dive (280.35) and the three-meter dive (294.80) were both the top scores in both events. Treanor now owns the school record in the one-meter dive, surpassing Kayla Wofford's previous school-best score of 277.43 set in 2020.
Tsuei swam to the fastest time in the 100Y Backstroke, clocking in at 57.60. Tsuei also raced in the 200Y Medley Relay, a group that finished second with a time of 1:44.68.
Zoe Bresnahan continues to succeed, finishing second in the 1650Y freestyle, timing out at 17:24.19. The sophomore also finished third in the 400Y IM with a time of 4:31.56.
Corbyn Cormack recorded a second-place finish 200Y IM after touching out at 2:06.92. Cormack also placed third in the 100Y Butterfly (56.35) and contributed to Air Force's second-place finish in the 400Y Medley Relay.
Lauren Arnold notched a third-place finish in the 500Y Freestyle (5:05.72) while Hanani Dona's 2:06.25 in the 200Y Butterfly was good for a third-place finish as well. The Falcons 200Y Freestyle Relay team of Ayame Castel, Darien Tompkins, Kara Gavin, and Abby Turner raced to second after the group finalized a time of 1:36.36.
"We are looking forward to an amazing second semester," said Murphy. "This fall has been awesome for our entire team and we will build on that momentum as we head into the conference schedule."
Next, Air Force will have an extended break over the holidays, returning to competition on Friday, January 6 when the Falcons travel to Hawaii for dual action against the Rainbow Warriors as well as the TCU Horned Frogs.
