The UMSL Tritons swimming teams were itching to showcase the 2021 talent in their own pool for weeks.

That time is now, and the Tritons certainly did not disappoint with a plethora of first-place, top-five, and top-10 finishes Friday and Saturday as they hosted Maryville and William Jewell.

Below is a look at some of the top performers from Saturday.

In the women's 400 medley relay: the team of Franziska Hauptmann, Zara Konstapel, Kristen Stalder, and Stephanie Schoemans placed first (4:06.39).
