MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The West Virginia University swimming and diving teams have been training at Arizona over the past 10 days, learning tips and techniques from last year’s NCAA national champions. WVU will now put to the test what it has learned in Tucson when it faces the Wildcats in a modified dual meet on Thursday, Jan. 8, at 4 p.m.

The men (3-4 overall, 1-1 BIG EAST) will square-off against the No. 3 ranked team in the nation. The last time the Mountaineers participated in action was the first weekend of December when they took fifth place in the Georgia Invitational.

In that meet they received two NCAA “B” cut times from seniors Michael Walker and Pablo Marmolejo. Arizona last swam on Jan. 2, and defeated Air Force, Washington and Colorado School of the Mines in quad meet action.

The women (3-5 overall, 1-1 BIG EAST) placed in sixth place at the Georgia Invitational and will face a tough Arizona team that is ranked No. 7 in the nation.

At the Georgia Invite, the Mountaineers had a NCAA “B” cut time from junior Kayla Andrews. The Arizona women are coming off a quad meet wins against Northern Arizona, Oregon State and Washington and won each of their meets.

Following the conclusion of the meet, the team will return to Morgantown where they will have a quick turnaround and swim at Pitt on Jan. 10.
