GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado opened its season Friday with a 198-83 win over New Mexico State at the Butler-Hancock Pool.

The margin came from depth as much as speed. Northern Colorado went one-two-three in the 200 medley relay and placed multiple swimmers in the top three of nearly every race, and the Bears won 11 of 16 events on the night. This marks the eighth straight victory over New Mexico State in duel competition.

Two More Marks Fall
Avi Tromp made it a breaststroke sweep, taking the 100 in 1:04.32 and then the 200 in 2:20.38, the latter a program record. Agathi Manoli added the 200 IM in 2:08.26 for a fourth record on the night.

Distance, Freestyle and Fly
Kyra Rabess won the meet's longest race, the 1000 freestyle, in 10:25.15, with Emma On-the-Hill second in 10:30.88 and Audrey Varet fourth. On-the-Hill came back to win the 500 freestyle in 5:07.09, with Rabess second and Gabriella Fish third.

Vitoria Simioni won twice, taking the 200 freestyle in 1:54.81 and the 100 freestyle in 52.37. Martina Yuki Trionfetti won the 50 freestyle in 23.73, and Ellyson Lombardi swept the butterfly events, going 2:02.89 in the 200 and 56.01 in the 100. Anisa Sabovic and Manoli chased her in both.

The Bears went one-two-three in the 200 medley relay, the A team of Trionfetti, Tromp, Lombardi and Alexis Mishler winning in 1:44.22. Trionfetti, Simioni, Lombardi and Rabess closed the meet with a win in the 400 freestyle relay at 3:30.00.

On the Boards
Violet Noel led the Bears, taking second on 3-meter with 246.53 and fourth on 1-meter at 223.73. Mireya Ruiz was third on 1-meter and sixth on 3-meter, and Addison Campbell finished in the top six on both. New Mexico State's Mira Tinani won each board.
