PROVO, Utah – UC Santa Barbara men's and women's swim travel to Utah to take on the BYU Cougars before heading to Salt Lake City to face the Utes and UCLA Bruins in a duel meet. The Gauchos start in Provo on Friday before competing against the former Pac-12 members on Saturday.

LAST TIME OUT
The Gauchos saw success last week in a dual meet against UNLV and Cal Baptist. The men and women both outscored the Rebels and Lancers after competition.

The mixed relay teams swam for the first time this season and performed well – netting two victories. Bryden Thielenhaus's name popped up in three winning events. He took the 75 and 150-yard butterfly and assisted on the 400-yard freestyle relay.
