The Iowa men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to compete in the Ohio State Invitational at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion today through Nov. 20.
The Hawkeyes will have to make a quick turnaround after just competing in the inaugural USA College Challenge, which was held at the Indiana University Natatorium last weekend.
Schools that will compete in Columbus include Kentucky, Kenyon, Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Penn State, Stanford, Utah, Washington State, and Yale. Of those nine schools, only Stanford and Washington State will not have a men’s team competing.
The Iowa men are coming off a good showing against Missouri State and Purdue, beating both teams.
The Hawkeyes beat the Boilermakers by almost the slimmest of margins, 151-149. The competition will ramp up even more this weekend.
