Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Tuesday, January 14, 2014 7 SWIMMING & DIVING Utes backslide to second place Utah drops both meets in California Davis Bunting STAFF WRITER After a strong start to its season, the Utah ski team took a step back last weekend in its second event of the campaign. The Utes traveled to Bozeman, Mont. to participate in the Montana State Invitational last Saturday and Sunday and took second to Denver. The runner-up finish came after Utah beat the Pioneers in the Pat Miller Invitational. Denver finished with a total of 737 points while the Utes scored 557. Thirdplace New Mexico was just behind Utah with 555 points. Like the season opener, the women led the Utes with a solid performance. Freshman Chloe Fausa had Utah's best result, finishing third in the giant slalom with a time of 1:56.78. Junior Kristiina Rove led the team in the slalom with a fifth-place finish. For the men, sophomore Andy Trow led the team in both the giant slalom and the slalom, with times of 1:57.31 and 1:38.93, respectively. Trow's giant slalom time was good enough to earn him a fifth place finish. One issue that plagued the team was that multiple skiers who placed high last week did not finish in their events this week. Freshman Mark Engel placed fifth overall in last week's giant slalom but did not finish in Montana. On the women's side, Rove Ian Smith STAFF WRITER BRENT UBERTY/The Daily Utah Chronicle Andy Trow competes in the men's giant slalom at Park City Mountain Resort. did not finish in the giant slalom this week, an event in which she placed fourth overall in last week's invitational. While DNFs may have played a factor in the Utes' finish, Trow said mistakes the team normally doesn't make and conditions such as a different slope and icier snow affected the team. "We made some small mistakes, and the terrain and snow was different and didn't really suit our style," he said. pointed with the men's results.

After seeing success against Arizona State on Jan. Io, the Utah women's swim and dive team was not so lucky against No. 5 USC and No. 16 UCLA last weekend in Los Angeles. The first meet against USC ended with a score of 119-91 while the meet against UCLA ended with a final score of 157-134. "I think you have to give a lot of credit where credit is due," said Utes' head coach Joe Dykstra. "USC is going to challenge for the NCAA title, and UCLA has the best team they've had in years. They are just a step ahead of us right now. It's a good measuring stick." After winning a majority of its events against ASU, Utah was only able to capture four event wins against USC — Amanda Barrett in the zoo-yard backstroke, Selin Ozturk in the 500-yard freestyle, Stina Colleou in the zoo-yard breaststroke and Traycie Swartz, Petra Soininen, Nicole Ligeza and Guilliana Gigliotti in the zoo-yard freestyle relay. Although wins were hard to come by, the Utes did place multiple swimmers in the top three of their respective events.
