MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University men’s swimming team completed the first day of competition at the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Iowa City, Iowa.
Tim Squires was the lone Mountaineer in action on Thursday, competing in the men’s 50-yard freestyle. Squires, a Buckhannon, West Virginia, native, placed 40th overall in the prelims of the 50 free with a time of 19.89.
“Tim had a good swim, but just not what he was hoping for,” said coach Vic Riggs. “There was great energy this morning and now we will focus on Andrew’s (Marsh) events tomorrow and keep fighting for that second swim.”
Squires and Marsh qualified for the NCAA Championships after hitting a time standard in their respective events. Squires will participate in the men’s 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events, and Marsh will compete in the 100-yard butterfly, 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard freestyle throughout the course of the week.
Day two of competition begins with tomorrow’s morning session scheduled for noon, ET. The evening session will begin each day at 8 p.m., ET.
ESPN3.com will stream live the championship finals sessions Friday and Saturday. All session not streamed by ESPN will be streamed live on the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships microsite link. Coverage of the championships will be broadcast on ESPNU at 5 p.m. ET, Wednesday, April 8.
