Flagstaff, Ariz. -  The University of Idaho swim team dropped both of its duals this weekend at Northern Arizona University against NAU and New Mexico State University despite breaking the Wall Aquatic Center record in the 400 freestyle relay.

The Vandals fell to the Lumberjacks 163-126 and to the Aggies 167-127 in Saturday's tri-dual meet in Flagstaff.

The Vandals had three first place finishes, all turned in by the freshman duo of Alyson O'Brien and Anna Humphrey.  O'Brien started off by touching the wall first in the 200 free with a time of 2:10.89.  Sara Peterson followed quickly in third place and turning in a time of 2:11.75. 

First place in the 400 free went to O'Brien when she finished her swim at 4:34.24, just ahead of Northern Arizona's Becky Triemstra at 4:34.48.

Humphrey, who headed into the weekend with the fourth fastest WAC time of the season in the 100 Back, did not disappoint when she narrowly beat out Stephanie Peacock for first in the 100 Back.  Humphrey's time of 1:07.31 bested Peacock by seven-hundredths of a second.

The Vandal 400 Free Relay team of Alyson O'Brien, Katie Kolva, Sara Peterson and Anna Humphrey turned in a time of 3:59.42, breaking the Wall Aquatic Center record that stood before the meet.  The Vandals came up two seconds short of setting a new record because they took second in Saturday's relay, falling to NMSU with the new record time of 3:57.97.

The next meet for the Vandals will be at the UI Swim Center December 7 against Nevada.  The Nevada meet will be the first time the Vandals have competed at home since January 26, when they beat Boise State University 170-49.
