Sports weekend recap

Swimming & Diving

The TCU swimming & diving team earned its historic 400th win when the men’s team beat Wyoming 168-132 Friday. It was also the 400th win for coach Richard Sybesma, who has been the only coach of the program in its history.

The men won six of the first eight events to win the meet overall, pushing Wyoming to 2-2 for the season. The women’s team, however, fell to the Cowgirls, 190-104.

Individually, the Frogs competed well. Senior Maria Paula Alvarez walked away with a win in both the 1000-freestyle and the 500-freestyle. Sophomore Sabine Rasch also tallied wins in two separate categories, winning the 100-freestyle and the 100-butterfly. The women’s team is now 2-2 overall.
