McInturff, a Pocatello, Idaho, product, won a pair of individual freestyle events vs. Colorado State and had another individual victory against New Mexico, helping the first-place Utes (6-0 overall, 4-0 MWC) to a 2-0 record last week.

Barras, a native of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, remained undefeated in dual matches this season with her sweep vs. Utah last week. She notched a personal and MWC season-best 280.95 in the 1-meter board and scored 309.60 in the 3-meter. Barras also holds the top point total in the 3-meter board, scoring 484.15 at the Texas Invitational earlier this season.
