A select group of swimmers from the BYU men’s and women’s swim team will compete in the Texas Invite Dec. 4–6, while another group will compete in the Colorado Mesa Invite.
“We’re expecting season-best, if not lifetime-best, times from a few of our swimmers,” head coach John Brooks said. “They’re prepared and rested for the meet. We want as many people swimming at night, and we want people to place high enough to hold their spot to qualify for NCAA’s from this meet. I’m really excited to see how well we do, because they’ve put in a lot of work.”
The Texas Invite will take place at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas.
Haley Bertoldo, Riley Buer, Anna Dahl, Brenna Dickson, Alora Foliaki, Andrea Grant Richards, Hannah Hansen, Emily Harris, Ciera Marsh Keller, Allison McCormick, Vanessa Moffatt, Lillian Moore, Hanna Skaggs, Alexandria Sorensen, Ashlee Spindler and Lauren Shaw Taylor will represent the BYU women.
