The Missouri women's swimming and diving team rose two spots to No. 23 while the men's squad received votes in the latest the College Swim Coaches Association Top 25 poll, released Thursday.

Missouri's women are 5-1 on the year and have a pair of first place invitational showings through the opening portion of the college swimming season. The Mizzou men received a total 15 votes - as the seventh school earning votes - and are 4-1 in dual action. They also have two invitational victories to their credit.

Both Mizzou squads will be in action this weekend when they welcome Truman State to the Mizzou Aquatic Center for the final home dual of the first semester. Action gets underway on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT.
