COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - Seattle U men's and women's team completed another day of competition in Colorado Springs, as they faced off against BYU, Colorado State, Colorado Mesa, and Air Force. The Redhawks continued to battle hard at 7000 ft of elevation, and were able to come away with some great performances on the day.
"We completed another session against four really good teams." said Head Coach Joe Dykstra "I was impressed with our resiliency and how hard we raced, being the only team in this meet that doesn't train at altitude. This experience will help us build more toughness and confidence heading into the WAC Championships"
On the women's side, Sammy Mosier continued to impress after her 50 Free from Friday night. In the 100 Fly, Mosier clocked in a time 58.21 to tie for fourth overall in the meet. Also carrying the positive momentum from Friday night's meet was true freshman Sarah Cook. In the 100 Breast, Cook finished in a time of 1:05.65 to finish fourth overall. Cook also had a top-10 finish in the 100 Fly, as she would clock in a time of 58.80 seconds to finish tenth overall.
For the men, Michael Luna had a great effort in the 1650 Free despite being at altitude. Luna would finish the long distance race in 17:06.92 to place fifth overall. Teammate Andres Banuelos also came away with a top-10 finish in the race, as he would clock in a time of 17:19.14 to place eighth overall.
The men's 400 Free Relay were also able to secure a top five finish on the day. The quartet of Cole Lanting, Nicholas Imig, Connor Barringer, and Matthew Chan were able to finish fifth overall with a time of 3:09.63.
The Redhawks will return back to competition in some postseason action at the WAC Championships on February 22-25 in McAllen, Texas
