MOSCOW, Idaho – With wins in 11 of 13 events, the NAU swim and dive team dominated fellow Western Athletic Conference (WAC) foe Idaho to win by a score of 146-95. Although the Lumberjacks have defeated Idaho the past two years at home and on the road, this was the most decisive victory.

NAU's 200 medley relay team started things off right, as Rachael Foe, T.J. Williams, Renee Rother and Tami Binek swam the winning time of 1:48.34. Kimber Morelli and Vivian Landeck won the next two events, the 1,000 freestyle (10:37.27) and 200 freestyle (1:54.41), respectively.

Elizabeth Brook placed second in the 1,000 free for NAU, swimming 10 seconds faster (10:40.25) than her best-ever non-conference meet time.

The 50 free was one of NAU's two hiccups in the meet, as Idaho went one-two-three. But the Lumberjacks came right back to win the 200 individual medley (Foe in 2:08.53). Taryn Harris was the lone NAU diver to make the trip, and did her job by winning both the 1-meter (256.80) and 3-meter (243.68).

Foe won her third event of the day by swimming 52.93 in the 100 freestyle, and Chalene Dirks-Ryan picked up a Lumberjack win in the 200 backstroke in 2:08.97. Kate Schafer and Kristin Jones placed first and second in the 500 freestyle, and Williams was an individual winner in the 200 breaststroke (2:22.26).

NAU finished the day with Claire Ferro, Schafer, Danielle Filipp and Landeck earning a win in the 800 freestyle relay with a time of 7:53.30.

“Our medley relay set the tone, we did great in the next two events and then things just kept going from there,” said head coach Andy Johns. “I was really pleased with how we finished our races, especially some of the longer ones that could have gone either way without some good finishes. We're excited to swim again tomorrow.”

The team will stay on the road and will be back in the pool tomorrow to take on Pac-10 Washington State at 11:00 a.m.
