HOUSTON - University of Houston swimmers Ashley Grijalva and Delia Weber swam outstanding races on the final day of the AT&T Winter National Championships in Federal Way, Wash., Saturday afternoon.
"This was great experience for us," said head coach Ryan Wochomurka. "To come to the National Championships and compete against the very best in the world in an Olympic format is a great learning opportunity for the two that were here, and for our entire program."
Grijalva was the first in the water for the Cougars, in the 200-meter breaststroke. The Gilbert, Ariz., native captured 64th place with an overall time of 2:44.13. She swam the first 50 meters in a time of 36.52 and followed with a time of 40.11 in the second 50 meters. In the third 50 meters, Grijalva netted a time of 42.94, and she concluded the final 50 meters in a time of 44.56.
