Swimming and Diving Teams Host Mizzou Invite This Weekend

Nov. 19, 2014

Columbia, Mo.- The Mizzou men's and women's swimming and diving teams host the sixth annual Mizzou Invite this weekend from Nov. 20-22. The three-day meet will feature preliminary heats beginning at 9 a.m. each morning and finals set for 6 p.m. each evening.

The Tigers welcome Drury, Florida International, Illinois, Missouri S&T, Nebraska, New Mexico, Northern Colorado, UNLV and West Virginia to the Mizzou Aquatic Center.

While the Mizzou women's team continues to receive votes in the weekly College Swimming Coaches Association of America poll, the men's team remains ranked No. 16 in the nation after both teams were idle last weekend. Last time out, both squads traveled to Lexington, Ky., and recorded three dual victories over Kentucky, Northwestern and Southern Illinois.

Following season-opening victories at the Tiger Invite, the men's and women's remain perfect in 2014. The men's team boasts an unblemished 4-0 dual mark and the women's team is still an undefeated 5-0 in dual action thus far as both squads look to continue their hot starts before the holiday break.
