Solid start in day one of Tucson Tri-Meet

Medal count for Badgers in double digits
TUCSON, Ariz. - The Wisconsin men and women's swimming and diving team had a successful first day at the University of Arizona where the Badgers took gold in 13 events. First-place finishes are as follows:
Head Coach Yuri Suguiyama: "We had a really strong showing on the first day of the meet! There were too many event winners to single out one, but our newcomers in particular raced and dove well! In addition to great competition, this has been a valuable experience in learning how to travel and compete in a tough environment. It will be important for us to maintain our intensity into tomorrow morning!"
Diving coach Yahya Radman: "I was very happy with our outing again Hawaii and Arizona. Both teams are well coached and have strong squads but Taz and Molly handled themselves like true Badgers in battle. Molly held her own and fought against some stiff competition considering her DD. She kept it simple, elegant and like a knife. Taz sealed the contest with his final dive in probably the best way I've seen him do it. Considering that this time last year we were filled with uncertainty, I'm glad to see us progressing according to plan."
