SAN DIEGO, California, November 6. THE TCU swimming and diving programs impressed Friday, as the men defeated UC San Diego, 157.5-123.5, while the women fell to San Diego State and toppled UCSD, University of San Diego and Idaho.

TCU's men's squad dominated the Tritons, garnering victories in 14 of the 16 events. Senior Josh Bagby and junior Edgar Peyro lead the squad with two individual wins each, while also supporting both of the Frogs' relay victories. Bagby, a Houston, Texas native, throttled the field in the 50- (21.21) and 100-free (46.45), while Peyro swept the 100- (50.55) and 200-fly (1:52.85).

After three meets, Crespo has won all 12 events he has competed, including seven relays.

Junior diver Kyle Callens also earned his due recognition, sweeping the springboard events. Coming off his Mountain West Conference Male Diver of the Week performance against Air Force, Callens bested both of his season-opening scores Friday with a score of 323.05 on the one-meter, followed by a 305.80 mark from the three-meter dive.

TCU's relay squads served as perfect bookends to the afternoon, as the team of Gyurko, Crespo, Peyro and Bagby torched through the 200-medley relay (1:32.61) in the men's opening event, while Gyurko, freshman Devin Price, Peyro and Bagby rounded out the evening with a 3:05.91 timing in the 400-free relay.

On the women's side, senior diver Jennifer Ferguson continues to own the sky, sweeping both springboard events.
