Cougars Complete Sweep of New Mexico

SALT LAKE -- For a second straight day the BYU women's swimming team had a great showing in their first weekend of competitive action for the season. The Cougars downed the University of New Mexico Lobos 185-56 at the Ute Natatorium on Saturday.

BYU had a complete sweep of every event-- both swimming and diving. They had a strong showing from a group of four talented freshmen: Michelle Menezes, Rachel Grant, Aleesha Miller and Sara Jayne Christiansen. Menezes placed second in the 1000 and 500 freestyle-- losing to her sophomore sister Natasha both times. Grant won the 400 IM, Miller took first in the 50 and 100 free, and Christiansen won the 100 backstroke.

"When you consider that we are in early October but were able to swim that well, I am pleased," BYU head coach Stan Crump said. "New Mexico is a much improved team and that helped us get a good look at our team today."

The BYU divers took the top two spots in both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. Senior Angela Nelson took first place at both diving heights (272.40 1-meter, 295.90 3-meter), while sophomore Tawni Jones finished second on the 1-meter (266.85) and sophomore Ava Jackman placed second on the 3-meter board (271.40).

There were also two senior Cougar swimmers that placed first in their respective events, Angela Goodson-Price and Jamie Bloom. Goodson-Price won the 100 butterfly with a time of 58.30, and Bloom took first in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:06.15. Junior Leilani Roberts also helped boost the Cougars with a solid win in the 200 free with a time of 1:55.83.

New Mexico was led by sophomore Jennifer Patterson who placed second in the 200 free (1:57.92) and third in the 100 fly (58.72). Lobo sophomore Ashley Grisdale also helped her team's cause by taking second in the 400 IM with a time of 4:30.36.

The BYU women swimmers will next be in action on Friday in the Blue/White Meet at 6 p.m. in the Richards Building Pool.
