Utah to Open 2015 Season Against Rival BYU

SALT LAKE CITY- The University of Utah swimming and diving team will host rival BYU this Saturday, Sept. 26 at 11 a.m. MT. inside the Ute Natatorium. All events will be non-scored exhibition.

The Utes welcomed 16 freshman to the squad this year; 11 women and 6 men.

“We are so excited to get this season underway and to see the swimmers and divers compete in a very fun format,” said Utah head coach Joe Dykstra. “The meet is a non-scored exhibition but anytime we face BYU, our team wants to perform well.  With all relays and synchronized diving, this should be about the most fun meet format for spectators we ever do.”

The one-meter and three-meter event will be combined. The divers will also have a chance to take to the pool and compete in the 50 free.

The Ute men take a break from competition, while the Ute women will compete next weekend when they host USC on Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. MT.
