The Seattle University swimming team had a tough outing in Salt Lake City, Utah Saturday afternoon. The men's team dropped their dual meet to the University of Utah by a score of 186.5 to 87.5. The women were unable to bring home a meet victory either, as they fell to both their opponents on the day. They lost their meet to Boise State 253 to 58, and were unable to rebound against Utah, as they fell 186.5 to 87.5.
Despite being unable to come home with a meet win on the day, both the Redhawk men and women's squads were persistent and showed collective improvement versus their top-notch competition.
On the men's side, sophomore Jordan Anderson earned the only first-place individual finish for the Redhawks. He swam the 50 yard freestyle in a time of 21.11 to lead the men's team on the day.
For the women, Kelsey Henan came the closest to earning a first-place finish in the 100 yard freestyle. The Redhawk junior was .04 seconds behind the race winner with a time of 55.83. Similarly, Elizabeth Hanohano had a strong showing in the 200 yard freestyle. She swam the individual race in a time of 1:57.98, two seconds behind Utah's Natalie Edge. Rounding out the Redhawk women's team was Alexis Morehouse. The SeatteU sophomore swam the 200 yard breaststroke in a time of 2:24.75 to be edged out of first-place by a Utah swimmer.
The Redhawk women return to the pool on Friday, Nov. 13, to host the University of Idaho in a 1 p.m. meet. The following day, the men's and women's team will take on Whitworth in a dual meet at 1 p.m.
