The Missouri men's and women's swimming and diving teams traveled to Ames, Iowa on Friday, October 21, to compete at the Big 12 Relay meet. Five of the six conference schools participated in the one day meet. This meet was unlike any other meet the Tiger will swim during the remainder of the 1999-2000 season. Every event that the athletes competed in were relays. There were no individual events swam.
Both the Texas teams came away with the team victories. The men totaled 100 points while the women scored a total of 99 points. Missouri's men scored a team total of 50 points, only 8 points behind fourth place Kansas, a bonus considering several of MU's veterans did not make the trip to Ames. Head coach Brian Hoffer was pleasantly surprised with how his young team performed on the road and against Big 12 competition.
"We had a lot of young guys step up are race well for us on Friday," Hoffer said. "We were in a battle with Kansas until the final two races which was great. The great thing about the meet was we are only going to get stronger from here on out."
Not only did the swimmers compete well, Missouri had two freshman divers compete extremely well against conference competition. Diving coach Pat McCord could not have been happier with the two young men's performances.
"Jason and James went out at did great," McCord said. "They competed at a high level right out of the blocks which is great for their first collegiate meet especially on the road."
The Tigers compete in Ames, Iowa again this weekend as they open their dual meet season against the Iowa State Cylcones on Friday, October 29. At last years meet, the Missouri women easily defeated the Tigers while the men fell to the 24th-ranked ISU men.
