Both the Cowgirls and Cowboys will be a force to be reckoned with after this meet, showing their talent and skill.
“This is a great win for our program,” Wyoming head coach Tom Johnson said. “The last time we came down here in January, Denver beat us pretty handily, but we came out and swam great today. This was a very positive effort and I am proud of how we swam today.”
