In what has become a favorite event for college swimming coaches around the state, the Second Annual Show-Me Showdown will take place Saturday at the Mizzou Aquatic Center. The first session begins at 11 a.m. with the second getting underway at 3 p.m.

Missouri is the host school for the event which features men's and women's teams from Drury, Lindenwood and Washington University in St. Louis, along with the Missouri-Rolla men and Stephens College women. The meet features 28 swimming races and four diving competitions.

"It's a fun early-season meet that gives the fans an opportunity to see the strong swimming in this state," Mizzou head coach Brian Hoffer said. "And it's a chance for the teams to swim in a fast pool. Also, I am very happy for all of the schools that are coming this weekend."

Both Missouri teams are coming off last weekend's strong performances at the Black-Gold and Alumni meets. Drury's men captured its second-consecutive NCAA Division II title, while the Panther women finished second in 2006 after winning a year earlier.

In last year's Showdown, Missouri was victorious as it claimed first-place billing over Missouri State and Drury on the men's and women's side.

Action gets underway at 11 a.m. on Saturday with the 200 free relay. The second session will begin at 3 p.m. approximately 60-90 minutes following the conclusion of the final race of the morning session - the 300 medley relay.

Each team may score their top two swimmers/divers in each individual event, while only the 'A' relay will score. Also, each swimmer/diver is limited to two individual events and all relays.
