HOUSTON, TX., - The Falcons capped off day two of the Mountain West Conference Championships on Thursday evening at CRWC Natatorium. Air Force saw Lexi Gregory and Lily Larson record top ten final finishes, along with five other top-20 placements.
"We had another amazing day in the pool," said head coach Colleen Murphy. "Lily and Lexi did a great job making finals in their events. This is a very close meet between all the teams and our women are stepping up to the challenge."
Diver Gregory placed the highest for the Falcons in an event, thus far into the championship meet. With her score of 319.40, the freshman secured a fifth-place finish on the 3-meter springboard. Lulu Semakula (286.65) and Kacey Hu (274.95) followed in ninth and 11th place.

In the preliminary round, she touched the wall at 1:47.27 to replace her second all-time Academy swim. Sadie Hartig earned a 15th place finish with a time of 1:49.73, after she recorded the fourth fastest time in Air Force history (1:48.33) in prelims. Hannah Seal (1:50.25) and Brynn Bond (1:50.51) placed 19th and 20th, respectively.
In the preliminary round of the 100 fly, Brynn Bond swam Air Force's fastest time of the meet at 55.33 for 29th.
