The men's team of Blake Bloomquist, Brandon Hay, Maloy and Smith won the 200 Freestyle Relay in 1:31.65.

The UTPB women had a pair of wins from Amanda Alspaugh. Alspaugh took first in the 200 Freestyle with a mark of 2:02.52 and she won the 500 Freestyle in 5:28.37.

"Overall I think we had a great meet," said UTPB assistant coach Grant Griffith. " We had a shaky start buy we rebounded very well and overcame early mistakes. I believe this meet gave our swimmers confidence heading into next week where we again look to put up some good times and successful swims."

Both teams are back in action next weekend, traveling to San Antonio for a dual Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
