Kill List

Wyoming, Air Force and BYU vs. Utah /Updated

The Utah Utes Swimming and Diving Team had 2 eventful weeks. After a relatively easy victory against the Wyoming Cowboys, the Utes went on to take down the U.S. Air Force Falcons and were only stopped by the BYU Cougars in a nail-biting confrontation.
Throughout history the cowboys demonstrated to be the stronger foes in the prairie, the Utah Utes however didn't give them a chance on the last match-up of the to natural enemies, they figuratively scalped them.
The Utah swimming team only took one day of rest before they took on one of the top ranked teams of the MWC (Mountain West Conference). The meet was even throughout the whole day, and it was thanks to Seamus Alger that the University of Utah took the lead. He out touched 3 of the best 400IM'ers in the conference after an electrifying finish.
Only the Cougars coming from the Brigham Young University managed to stop the fury and take the victory away from the Utes.

The past few weeks were exciting and the team that competed in the Ute Natatorium was seemingly not the same that swam against TCU. A little change in the cheering routine and the small home field advantage, awoke the temper that was needed to compete at that high level. Eventhough they had to accept the loss against BYU, they definitely showed what they are capable of, and one can only look forward to the showdown at the MWC Championship meet that will be held in Oklahoma City two weeks from now.

UTAAAAAAAAAAAHH


Das Schwimmteam der 'University of Utah' hatte 2 ereignisreiche Wochen. Nach einem relativ einfachen Sieg gegen die Wyoming Cowboys, nahmen wir uns die U.S. Air Force Falcons vor und konnten nur von den BYU Cougers gestoppt werden.
Die Geschichte hat uns folgendes gelehrt: die Cowboys sind normalerweise die stärkeren Schurken in der Prärie. Die Utah Utes gaben den Cowboys jedoch keine Chance in der letzten Begegnung der beiden natürlichen Feinde.
Die Utes hatten nur einen Tag um sich für den nächsten Wettkampf fertig zu machen. Der Gegner hiess 'U.S Air Force' einer der best rangierten Teams der MWC (Mountain West Conference). Der Wettkampf war durchwegs ausgeglichen. Seamus Alger war es zu verdanken dass die 'University of Utah' die Führung übernahm. Er berührte die Wand nur wenige hundertstel vor den drei führenden top 400 Lagen Schwimmern der Conference.
Nur die Cougars (Pumas) von der Brigham Young Universität brachten es fertig uns den Sieg wegzuschnappen.

Die letzten Wochen waren genial und das Team welches im Ute Natatorium zu sehen war, schien nicht das selbe zu sein welches Wochen zuvor gegen TCU konkurrierte. Nur eine kleine Änderung im Kampfschreis und ein kleiner Heimvorteil, weckten das Temperament das nötig war um auf diesem hohen Niveau zu schwimmen. Obwohl wir einen Verlust gegen BYU hinemehn mussten, haben wir gezeigt was wir im Stande sind zu schwimmen.
