The Las Cruces Natatorium made a big splash by hosting its very first swim meet this past Saturday for NM State Swimming & Diving vs. GCU. The competition was fierce, the energy was high, and the swimmers showed off some incredible talent in the pool.
The Crimson & White took the crown in 10 of 16 events on the day, landing on 28 of the 48 possible podium spots. Naomi Slee (3), Emily Dobbins (2), Dijana Mazumdar, Faye McDonagh and Katie Rink (2) all earned multiple first-place finishes, including the final event of the day. That quartet (excluding McDonagh) edged out Grand Canyon’s A group by nearly two seconds in the 400 free relay, capping off a 46-point victory for NM State.
City of Las Cruces Parks and Recreation Department said of the event: “Can’t wait to see even more action at the Natatorium!”
