In the final event, BYU won the men’s 400 freestyle relay, but Utah took the meet victory with the men leading 189-109 and the women 181-112.
“It was a pretty tough loss,” head swim coach John Brooks said. “Our team felt a little broken down today. I don’t know if it was the hour and a half drive through the snow to get up there or if they were a little more tired than average. It was a tough loss, but Utah came ready for us and they ended up with the win.”
Unlike previous competitions held with Utah earlier this season, this event was scored and counted toward the Deseret First Duel.
