Barras won her final gold on the last day after scoring 396.9 on the platform. Barras also won gold on Wednesday in the 1-meter dive, the third straight year she's won the event, and took silver in the 3-meter board. That second-place finish was only her second loss to an MWC opponent all year.
Junior Robyn Miller won several medals at the event. She won the bronze in the 800-yard freestyle relay - along with Kelsey Leckovic, Jenna Swerson and Andrea Zarins - bronze in the 500-yard freestyle individual, silver in the 400-yard individual medley and another silver in the 200-yard butterfly.
Miller set UNM records in all three individual events, breaking her own old marks in the final two.
