Aztecs Back In Action After Four-Week Layoff
* The San Diego State swimming and diving team (3-5, 1-5 MWC) heads to the Silver State to face Mountain West Conference foe Nevada-Las Vegas on Saturday and participates in the UNLV Invitational Sunday and Monday. The Aztecs will look to get back on the winning track after falling to Wyoming (Nov. 20) and Colorado State (Nov. 22) in their last two conference dual-meets.
Weekly Recap
* It has been about a month since the Aztecs were last in action. During that time, they competed in three meets, in three different cities, in four days, finishing with a record of 1-2. In the first of two road meets, San Diego State defeated the Bears of Northern Colorado, 172-128, on Nov. 19. The road victory was the first for the Aztecs and the second consecutive against a non-conference opponent (W, 53-19, vs. LMU, Oct. 16). The meet featured three multiple event winners and saw SDSU win 10 of the 16 events. The next day in Laramie, Wyo., the Aztecs fell to the Cowgirls, 173-119. The Aztecs were led by sophomore Caitlin Friedhoff who set a season-best time of 24.90 in the 50-yard freestyle and finished with two second-place efforts in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle events. On Nov. 22, San Diego State hosted Colorado State in its final home meet of the season. Despite wins by senior Jennifer Arrow in the 200-yard breaststroke and Friedhoff (100-yard freestyle) and season-best scores from each of its three divers in the one-meter competition (Joelle Felton, Kathleen Heuring, Lindsey Minnich), the Aztecs fell to the Rams, 184-113.
Friedhoff On Fire
* Through six Mountain West Conference dual-meets, Caitlin Friedhoff has finished first at least once five times (vs. Utah; vs. Air Force; vs. BYU; at Wyoming; vs. Colorado State). Most recently, the sophomore placed first in the 50-freestyle with a time of 24.90 at Wyoming and in the 100-freestyle (54.59) against Colorado State. Not to mention a first-place effort in the 200-yard freestyle at Northern Colorado to start off the road trip. To date, Friedhoff has won a total of six events in six conference meets.
