MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University men's and women's swimming teams take to the road for the last competition of the fall season Friday when they head to Columbus, Ohio, for competition at the Ohio State Invitational from Dec. 4-6. The three-day meet will take place at the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
“Being our first prelim/final meet of the year, racing well in the morning will be very important and also new to some,” Riggs says. “All in all, this has always been a good meet for us and gives us great information to use going into the second half of the season.”
The prelims will start 11 a.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday. The finals will begin at 6 p.m. on Friday, 5 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday.
West Virginia and Ohio State will be joined by Miami (women), Minnesota, Notre Dame (men), Penn State and Pitt.
“As we enter the midpoint of our season, I am looking forward to seeing how the team will compete this weekend,” Riggs says. “This will be an excellent opportunity for us to see how we stack up against, not only some BIG EAST rivals, but some very good programs from the Big Ten and a very good Miami program.”
West Virginia was last in action on the weekend of Nov. 13-14 when the men defeated Villanova and a depleted women's team fell to Villanova and Rutgers.
