Columbia, Mo. -

Missouri Swimming and Diving Head Coach Greg Rhodenbaugh announced his 2010-11 schedule on Tuesday and the Tigers will host six events at the world class Mizzou Aquatics Center this season, highlighted by the annual Mizzou Grand Prix, Feb. 18-20.

 

Missouri opens its season with the annual Black & Gold Intersquad on Oct. 1 before hosting the Show-Me Showdown on Oct. 2. The Tigers then travel to Carbondale, Ill., for a combined meet with Kentucky and Southern Illinois on Oct. 16.

 

Action heats up in late October with the Tiger women hosting rival Kansas on Oct. 29 and the Missouri men traveling to Dallas for the annual Southwest Plunge (Oct. 29-30). Both squads then travel to Fayetteville, Ark., on Nov. 5 for a combined meet with South Carolina, while the women also face Arkansas.

 

The fall concludes with the annual Mizzou Invite on Dec. 3-5.

 

Missouri returns to action in the second semester with a road trip to Minnesota (Jan. 15) and a home meet with Iowa State and Missouri State on Jan. 22. Back-to-back road trips to South Bend, Ind., (Jan. 28-29) and Lincoln, Neb., (Feb. 5) lead Mizzou into a busy February, which includes the Mizzou Grand Prix and the Big 12 Championships (Feb. 23-26) in Austin, Texas.
