Wow, a lot has happened in the last week.
I'll start with our meet against BYU. The girls had another great showing. Gabby won 1m and Aubrey was 3rd on 3m.
At Utah Gabby won 1m again and we went 2,3,4,6 on 3m.
These 2 meets were Friday and Saturday. It was a fast 2 days. We flew in on Friday and competed in Provo that night and the following morning we competed against Utah and then we flew home that evening. I think it's difficult to travel and compete 2 days in a row. Even though all the girls did well.
At this point in the season, I think the girls are diving consistently. We still have a long season ahead of us so this is a good marker for the girls. We have another meet against NMSU and Wyoming this Saturday. This will be another great meet. I would have to say Wyoming and BYU have the strongest teams in our conference so this should be a great turnout.
If you're in town please come out and support the UNM Divers and Swimmers.
None diving related, I have to mention something about our women's UNM Soccer team and student-athlete, Elizabeth Lambert. I personally know our soccer team and they are a bunch of great girls. When I initially saw the infamous ESPN clip on our UNM Soccer team I was shocked. However being the person I am, I had to look into this further. If you watch the clips closer you'll see the BYU girls giving cheap shots. The hair incident, well that was bad, however if you look closely, you'll see the BYU girl tugging and pulling at her crotch. I'm not saying Elizabeth's actions were right. I just want to say that in order for Elizabeth to do something like this, she had to have been seriously provoked. If you know soccer, you know there's pushing and shoving involved. What I would like to see, is the entire game at a wide angle view to see it all unfold.
