ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— The University of New Mexico women’s swimming and diving team will start the new year off with a dual against Pepperdine at the Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool in Malibu, Calif. on Saturday, Jan. 5 at 12 p.m. MT. This marks the first time the Lobos will be competing against the Waves.
The last time the Lobos competed was on Dec. 1 in a tri-meet against Air Force and Colorado State in which the Lobos emerged victorious over both. The Waves have been out of the pool nearly as long, having last competed on Nov. 30 at San Diego State. The Waves narrowly lost to the Aztecs by a score of 141-132.
Of the events scheduled for Saturday’s meet, four Lobos are ranked in the top six in the Mountain West. Senior Adriana Palomino is ranked first in the 500-yard freestyle (4:43.77), second in the 200-yard freestyle (1:47.44) and third in the 1000-yard freestyle (10:11.18). Sophomores Klara Farkas and Matea Sumajstorcic are ranked third (4:48.19) and fourth (4:48.27), respectively, in the 500-yard freestyle. Senior Emily Huffer holds the sixth place spot for the 200-yard butterfly (2:01.51).
There will be 14 swimming events on the afternoon.
