STEVENS: UNM Has Three All-MWC Lobos & Five Senior LeadersThere are a lot of variables when it comes to forming a swim team that can produce points in the water and points in diving, while establishing that all-important team chemistry on the pool deck. Lobo coach Tracy Ljone appears to have all those elements covered for the 2009-10 season. She has an All-Mountain West Conference swimmer in the lanes. She has two All-MWC divers. She has senior leadership in swimmers Ashley Grisdale, Jennifer Patterson and Bridget O'Hara, and two senior divers in Alexandra Lusk and Sasha Evangulova.
