The Cowgirls lost 156-106 and the Cowboys lost 178-84 to the Utes, but the brown and gold performed well against a talented Big 12 program during the community outreach event.

"Just the number of fans that were here cheering on people they had swam in high school with or they knew on the team, that energy was a lot of fun, and I think we saw it in the results," UW head coach Dave Denniston said. "There were a lot of fast swims today and a lot of first place finishes by Wyoming Cowboys and Cowgirls."

UW's first-place finishers were:

Macey Hansen in the women's 1,000-yard freestyle (10:09.43).

Tara Joyce in the women's 200-yard freestyle (1:50.00). Joyce was also second in the 100-yard freestyle (50.21) behind Utah's Erin Palmer (49.98).

Ellie Fritscher in the women's 200-yard butterfly (2:03.79).

Brynlee Busskohl in the women's 200-yard breaststroke (2:14.81). Busskohl was also second in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:01.93) behind Palmer (1:00.40).

Griff Orloff in the men's 200-yard breaststroke (2:01.82).

Gavin Smith in the men's 100-yard butterfly (47.63).

The Cowboys (Collin Davis, Drew Ravegum, Smith and Luke O'Connor) also won the men's 400-yard medley relay (3:16.88).

"Overall, a great meet," Denniston said. "We saw what we wanted to out of this meet in terms of some really good speed and we're set up well to get into the conference season."

In the 3-meter final, Gonzalez was fourth (299.15), Natalie Six was seventh (265.90) and Haigler was 10th (247.35).

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert GagliardiJared NewlandRyan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
