Friday, Synsvoll won the 200 free with a 1:50.11, which converts to an altitude adjusted time of 1:48.91, the top time in the Summit League this season by 0.97 seconds. Synsvoll also won the 200IM in the weekend opener, taking the race with a time of 2:04.36. On Saturday, Synsvoll won the women's 200 back and finished second in the 200 IM, both altitude adjusted times are tops in the league this season.
Berry won three of the four events she competed in in the two duals last weekend. On Friday, Berry won the women's 3-meter with an NCAA Zone Cut score of 310.25. Later in the meet, Berry earned a 281.55, good enough for another NCAA Zone Cut and second in the meet. Berry swept the two boards against BYU on Saturday with scores of 270.53 (NCAA Zone Cut) on 1-meter and 275.93 on 3-meter.
Jones led Denver's men in duals against Utah and BYU over the weekend. On Saturday, Jones set a new El Pomar Natatorium record in the men's 200 fly on Saturday afternoon, clocking in at 1:47.03. Jones won both 200 fly races this weekend, reaching the wall in 1:48.89 on Friday before the record-setting Saturday. The Denver freshman's 200 fly time is the fastest in the Summit League this season.
Gregory won the men's 3-meter against Utah on Friday with a 326.20. The Denver freshman also earned an NCAA Zone Cut on the 1-meter board on Saturday, receiving a score of 309.60 to take second in a six-diver field inside El Pomar.
