TUCSON, Ariz. – The Grand Canyon swimming and diving program closed out the nonconference dual meet portion of its schedule Friday against Arizona.

GCU sophomore Jonathan Rom picked up a win in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2 minutes, 2.38 seconds. Rom also swam well in the 400 individual medley (4:07.24) and took second in the 100 breaststroke (55.76).
