Sparked by four wins from senior

Maddie Heynen,
Peyton Wright and
Isabell Osborne in posting a time of 1:46.00 in the meet-closing relay.
Freshman
Millie Benkert recorded a pair of victories Saturday, winning the 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke, and finished third in the 100 butterfly.
Freshmen
Kate Brush posted a pair of second-place results in the 200 butterfly and 500 freestyle, while sophomore
Ana Mashek placed second in the 100 backstroke and third in the 200 backstroke.
In diving, senior
Riley Wadehra won the 3-meter event with a score of 247.65 and finished second in the 1-meter behind freshman
Peyton Classon, who won with 257.25 points. Junior
Jennifer Middleton placed second in the 3-meter and third in the 1-meter.
"Every swim, every dive, every event, every point mattered today," head coach
Anne Goodman James said. "The lead flip-flopped almost every other event. That made it very exciting all the way through.
"Today was much more about competing, than the times and scores. Pueblo swam well, and pushed us to dig deep over and over to pull out this win. Our team had to be flexible to get the job done, and they responded positively. This was a fun one."
The Tigers are idle until competing at the Orange Bowl Classic on Friday, Jan. 3 in Key Largo, Fla.
