Last year the Broncs surprised just about everybody as the team placed 3rd at the state meet, which was their best finish since 1986.
Head Coach Brent Moore says things this season have gotten off to a promising start with several individuals, but it’s the relay teams that still need to be figured out.
Part of the teams’ success has been coming from sophomore Ben Forsyth, who set a new school record this past weekend in the 100 yard breaststroke race, by 1-hundredths of a second.
He placed 3rd in the event at last year’s state meet and was 4th in the 50 yard freestyle race.
Forsythe says one thing he likes about this year’s team is that there’s great chemistry both in and out of the pool.
Forsythe and his family moved to Wyoming from Maryland about 5-6 years ago.
University Of Wyoming Basketball: The Wyoming Cowgirls built an 11-point lead at halftime last night at home vs. San Diego State, and then went on a 17-2 run to start the 4th quarter and go on to win 72-55 to improve to 9-6 on the season, but more importantly, they are now 4-0 in the Mountain West Conference.
Tess Barnes scored 17 points to lead the way for UW.
Emily Mellema added a dozen and Allyson Fertig had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds as the team shot 52% for the game.
