Swimming and diving brief

Friday, October 3, 2008

The 2008-09 swimming and diving season is under way as the women begin with Pentathlon events tonight at 4 p.m. in Robinson Natatorium.

Swimming head coach Clark Campbell heads into his seventh season coaching, while diving head coach Eric Elliot begins his fifth season with the Jayhawks.

The Jayhawks will begin the dual meet season with a trip to Arizona the weekend of fall break. The Arizona State Sun Devils will the first of the two meets in Arizona. The Jayhawks will conclude the weekend with a dual in Flagstaff, Ariz. against Northern Arizona.

The team is scheduled to have six home meets this season, including the Big 12 Relays Oct. 24, along with duals against Texas A&M, Drury, Evansville, Iowa State and a triangular meet with South Dakota and Northern Iowa.

Elliott earned Big 12 Coach of the Meet at the Big 12 Championships this last spring. Four of Elliot’s divers competed in the NCAA Zone Meet and while none of them qualified for the NCAA Championship Meet, all had strong performances. Three of the four divers return this season including senior Hannah McMacken, junior Meg Proehl, and sophomore Erin Mertz.

The Jayhawks look to capitalize on their fourth place finish at the 2008 Big 12 Championships, a meet in which there were five team records broken and one NCAA automatic qualifying swim from senior Danielle Herrmann.
