USAFA, Colo.- The Falcons put an exclamation mark on the final day of the Air Force Invitational, as Air Force's 468.5 claimed first place among the five teams at the Cadet Natatorium.
"What a great day of racing for our team today," said head coach Colleen Murphy. "We have been really tired and sore coming back from our training trip and the first two weeks of school. But this team stepped up and raced hard, and the way they responded to racing two days in a row after an exhausting couple of weeks was incredible."
Kai-Min Tsuei nabbed a win in the 100 Backstroke, touching out at 57.18. Anna Ashley finished in second behind her teammate, clocking in at 57.68.
Katelyn Andrist raced to her second win of the weekend, this time in the 1650 Free. The freshman won the race with a time of 17:42.92.
Gabrielle Peltier collected her third runner-up placement of the weekend. After a stellar day on Friday, Peltier's 238.95 awarded her a second-place finish in the platform dive.
Ashley, Corbyn Cormack, Abby Turner, and Kimberly Woolfenden raced to a close second-place in the 200 Medley Relay after timing out at 1:44.86. Cormack and Turner as well as Kara Gavin and Raquelle Roesch also nabbed a second-place finish in the 400 Free Relay.
"We are so proud of their grit and determination," said Murphy.
Next, Air Force will stay home for the Colorado Sprint Championships on Saturday, January 28.
