First Meet

So the CU swim team had our first meet of the season and we completely dominated the meet. At this meet were the teams from Mines, Adams State, Mesa State, and Metro State. Being the only club team there we were seen as the underdogs.

One thing about our club is that we are 100 strong, roughly 50 compete, and are 4 times Club National Champs. With that being said I wasn't surprised at all that we did so well at the meet. Over all we won a handful of relays and had top three finishes in every event. But the most exciting race as the women's 400 Free relay. It was the last race of the night and CU was up against division school Mesa State, who were expected to dominate that event. The entire race both teams were side by side and CU touched out Mesa State. Their team was surprised that they just lost and it just proved that swimming for a club team does not mean that you are not good at the sport.

Our club team is full of diverse swimmers and we have the best time together. This win at our first meet with division teams just proves that our team is just as competitive as others.
