The Arizona swimming and diving teams gave ASU a swimming lesson during their last dual meet of the season Saturday in Tempe.

The No. 6 women’s team dominated ASU 181-107, winning 12 of 16 events, while the No. 7 men’s team won 11 of 16 events to beat the Sun Devils 172-123.

“”Today was a great indication of where we are at,”” Arizona head swimming coach Frank Busch said in a press release. “”We had a lot of fun today and it’s good to see a sign that we are on the right path. The kids feel rested and like they are on target for a good postseason. The entire coaching staff feels really confident with the way we are performing right now.””

Senior diver Tiffany Manning went out as Arizona diving head coach Michele Mitchell-Rocha expected, winning both springboard events.

Men’s senior diver John Collier, who competed against defending NCAA champion and senior Joona Puhakka, won the 3-meter and took second in the 1m.

Later in the day, Collier made his college swimming debut when he anchored the sixth-place 200-yard free relay team. Busch said he let Collier swim in the event because he was competing against the defending NCAA champion, and he won the 3m.

“”John and I made a deal at the

beginning of the meet,”” Busch said. “”Since he was competing against the defending national champion, I told him if he won at least one of his events, I would let him swim in the relay. He was really excited and the whole team was going crazy on deck.””
